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".

Linux module signing uses PKCS#7 / CMS because everything is awful and
broken. In order to make the lives of kernel developers easier, support
the calling pattern that the kernel uses to sign modules.
The kernel utility was written at a time when PKCS#7 was hard coded to
use SHA-1 for signing in OpenSSL and it reflects this: you can only
specify “sha1” on the command line, for example. As of OpenSSL 1.1.1, at
least, OpenSSL uses SHA-256 and thus so does this change.

PKCS#7 stores certificates and CRLs in (implicitly-tagged) SET OF
types. This means they're unordered and, in DER, must be sorted.
We currently sort neither. OpenSSL upstream sorts CRLs but doesn't sort
certificates. https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/13143 reports that
Microsoft has a stricter parser that checks this. This CL fixes both
fields in our serializer.
This does not change the parsing code, which still preserves whatever
order we happened to find, but I've updated the documentation to clarify
that callers should not rely on the ordering.
Based on [0] and the odd order in kPKCS7NSS, I believe this aligns with
NSS's behavior.
Update-Note: It is no longer the case that constructing a PKCS#7 file
and parsing them back out will keep the certificates and CRLs in the
same order.

This is to help with cryptography.io compatibility. We don't implement
any of the flags (PKCS7_sign checks flags == PKCS7_DETACHED), but
cryptography.io now depends on the constant and PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO type
being available.
(cryptography.io also wants some new functions, but I think it's easier
to stub those out externally for now. If we need to actually enable
those features, we can look at actually implementing more of
PKCS7_sign.)
