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".

Prior to 5d7c2f8b1d, these i2d functions would fail, rather than crash,
if passed a NULL argument. While we don't generally have much truck with
the idea that functions should be expected to handle NULL arguments
where not documented, it seems that a fair amount of code is depending
on this.

Code which targets OpenSSL won't use EVP_parse_public_key. X509_PUBKEY
is fairly deeply tied to the old ASN.1 stack, but there's no reason for
i2d_PUBKEY and friends to be. Move them to crypto/evp and reimplement as
wrappers over our functions.
