Document updates from wiki.

PR#3071 The primary changes made are: - Updates to the "NAME" section of many pages to correctly reflect the functions defined on those pages. This section is automatically parsed by the util/extract-names.pl script, so if it is not correct then running "man" will not correctly locate the right manual pages. - Updates to take account of where functions are now deprecated - Full documentation of the ec sub-library - A number of other typo corrections and other minor tweaks

+BN_GENCB_call calls the callback function held in the B<BN_GENCB> structure
+and passes the ints B<a> and B<b> as arguments. There are two types of
+B<BN_GENCB> structure that are supported: "new" style and "old" style. New
+programs should prefer the "new" style, whilst the "old" style is provided
+for backwards compatibility purposes.
+
+For "new" style callbacks a BN_GENCB structure should be initialised with a
+call to BN_GENCB_set, where B<gencb> is a B<BN_GENCB *>, B<callback> is of
+type B<int (*callback)(int, int, BN_GENCB *)> and B<cb_arg> is a B<void *>.
+"Old" style callbacks are the same except they are initialised with a call

+B<void (*callback)(int, int, void *)>.
+
+A callback is invoked through a call to B<BN_GENCB_call>. This will check
+the type of the callback and will invoke B<callback(a, b, gencb)> for new
+style callbacks or B<callback(a, b, cb_arg)> for old style.
+
+BN_generate_prime (deprecated) works in the same way as
+BN_generate_prime_ex but expects an old style callback function
+directly in the B<callback> parameter, and an argument to pass to it in
+the B<cb_arg>. Similarly BN_is_prime and BN_is_prime_fasttest are
+deprecated and can be compared to BN_is_prime_ex and
+BN_is_prime_fasttest_ex respectively.
