DOCS: Fix provider-mac.pod and the docs of our implementations
The idea being that doc/man7/provider-mac.pod is for provider authors, while provider users find the documentation for each implementation in doc/man7/EVP_MAC-*.pod, the documentation of parameters wasn't quite aligned. This change re-arranges the parameter documentation to be more aligned with this idea. Reviewed-by: Shane Lontis <shane.lontis@oracle.com> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/14380)
