There are a lot of d2i and i2d functions, and there will be even more
once asn1.h and x509.h are properly documented. We currently replicate
the text in each, but as a result a miss a few points:
- The i2d outp != NULL, *outp == NULL case isn't documented at all.
- We should call out what to do with *inp after d2i.
- Unlike our rewritten functions, object reuse is still quite rampant
with the asn1.h functions. I hope we can get rid of that but, until we
can, it would be nice to describe it in one place.
While I'm here, update a few references to the latest PKCS#1 RFC, and
try to align how we reference ASN.1 structures a bit. The d2i/i2d
functions say "ASN.1, DER-encoded RSA private key" while the CBS/CBB
functions say "DER-encoded RSAPrivateKey structure".
