Various RT doc fixes
RT1556: doc/crypto/threads.pod
RT2024: Missing pages mentioned in crypto.pod
RT2890: Wrong size in ERR_string_error description.
RT3461: Better description of PEM Encryption
(Jeffrey Walton <noloader@gmail.com>)
Also, fix up formatting and removed some code examples
that encourage unsafe patterns, like unencrypted private
keys (Rich Salz)
RT4240: Document some speed flags (Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com>)
RT4260: Fix return value doc for X509_REQ_sign and X509_sign
(Laetitia Baudoin <lbaudoin@google.com>)
