[openssl.org #1675] RSA_set_method(3) inconsistency

[Vladimir Kotal via RT]

2 issues with RSA_set_method(3) man page:

   1. the function prototypes for RSA sign and verify functions in 
RSA_set_method(3) man page do not match reality
     - crypto/rsa/rsa.h lists them as:

        int (*rsa_sign)(int type,
                const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_length,
                unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, const RSA *rsa);
        int (*rsa_verify)(int dtype,
                const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_length,
                const unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen,
                                                                const RSA *rsa);


      but the man page says this:

          /* sign. For backward compatibility, this is used only
            * if (flags & RSA_FLAG_SIGN_VER)
            */
              int (*rsa_sign)(int type, unsigned char *m, unsigned int 
m_len,
                 unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, RSA *rsa);

           /* verify. For backward compatibility, this is used only
            * if (flags & RSA_FLAG_SIGN_VER)
            */
              int (*rsa_verify)(int type, unsigned char *m, unsigned int 
m_len,
                 unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen, RSA *rsa);


      (notice ths missing 'const')


   2. the man page is missing rsa_keygen member of RSA_METHOD structure
