Add EVP_AEAD_CTX_init(3) manpage to document the new(ish) AEAD API.
The "authenticated encryption with additional data" API is used for
ciphers like AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305. The manpage is a beginning
and certainly needs more work, especially improvements in the EXAMPLES
section.
Based on agl's source code comments.
