DOC: Add documentation related to X509_LOOKUPs
Most of all, the base X509_LOOKUP functionality is now documented. Furthermore, the names X509_LOOKUP_METHOD and X509_STORE are added for reference. Some functions were moved from X509_LOOKUP_meth_new.pod Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/11120)

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<X509_LOOKUP> structure holds the information needed to look up
+certificates and CRLs according to an associated L<X509_LOOKUP_METHOD(3)>.
+Multiple B<X509_LOOKUP> instances can be added to an L<X509_STORE(3)>
+to enable lookup in that store.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_new() creates a new B<X509_LOOKUP> using the given lookup
+I<method>.
+It can also be created by calling L<X509_STORE_add_lookup(3)>, which
+will associate a B<X509_STORE> with the lookup mechanism.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_init() initializes the internal state and resources as
+needed by the given B<X509_LOOKUP> to do its work.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_shutdown() tears down the internal state and resources of
+the given B<X509_LOOKUP>.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_free() destructs the given B<X509_LOOKUP>.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_set_method_data() and X509_LOOKUP_get_method_data()
+associates and retrieves a pointer to application data to and from the
+given B<X509_LOOKUP>, respectively.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() is used to set or get additional data to or from a
+B<X509_LOOKUP> structure or its associated L<X509_LOOKUP_METHOD(3)>.
+The arguments of the control command are passed via I<argc> and I<argl>,
+its return value via I<*ret>.
+The meaning of the arguments depends on the I<cmd> number of the
+control command. In general, this function is not called directly, but
+wrapped by a macro call, see below.
+The control I<cmd>s known to OpenSSL are discussed in more depth
+in L</Control Commands>.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_load_file() passes a filename to be loaded immediately
+into the associated B<X509_STORE>.
+I<type> indicates what type of object is expected.
+This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation
+L<X509_LOOKUP_file(3)>.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() passes a directory specification from which
+certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand into the associated
+B<X509_STORE>.
+I<type> indicates what type of object is expected.
+This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation
+L<X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir(3)>.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_load_file(), X509_LOOKUP_add_dir(),
+X509_LOOKUP_add_store(), and X509_LOOKUP_load_store() are implemented
+as macros that use X509_LOOKUP_ctrl().
+
+X509_LOOKUP_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial(),
+X509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint(), and X509_LOOKUP_by_alias() look up
+certificates and CRLs in the L<X509_STORE(3)> associated with the
+B<X509_LOOKUP> using different criteria, where the looked up object is
+stored in I<ret>.
+Some of the underlying B<X509_LOOKUP_METHOD>s will also cache objects
+matching the criteria in the associated B<X509_STORE>, which makes it
+possible to handle cases where the criteria have more than one hit.
+
+=head2 Control Commands
+
+The B<X509_LOOKUP_METHOD>s built into OpenSSL recognise the following
+X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() I<cmd>s:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<X509_L_FILE_LOAD>
+
+This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_file() uses.
+The filename is passed in I<argc>, and the type in I<argl>.
+
+=item B<X509_L_ADD_DIR>
+
+This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() uses.
+The directory specification is passed in I<argc>, and the type in
+I<argl>.
+
+=item B<X509_L_ADD_STORE>
+
+This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_store() uses.
+The URI is passed in I<argc>.
+
+=item B<X509_L_LOAD_STORE>
+
+This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_store() uses.
+The URI is passed in I<argc>.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+X509_LOOKUP_new() returns a B<X509_LOOKUP> pointer when successful,
+or NULL on error.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_init() and X509_LOOKUP_shutdown() return 1 on success, or
+0 on error.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() returns -1 if the B<X509_LOOKUP> doesn't have an
+associated B<X509_LOOKUP_METHOD>, or 1 if the X<509_LOOKUP_METHOD>
+doesn't have a control function.
+Otherwise, it returns what the control function in the
+B<X509_LOOKUP_METHOD> returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in
+error.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_get_store() returns a B<X509_STORE> pointer if there is
+one, otherwise NULL.
+
+X509_LOOKUP_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial(),
+X509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint(), and X509_LOOKUP_by_alias() all return 0
+if there is no B<X509_LOOKUP_METHOD> or that method doesn't implement
+the corresponding function.
+Otherwise, it returns what the corresponding function in the
+B<X509_LOOKUP_METHOD> returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in
+error.
