Norbert Pocs adc73bfcb3 Docs: Clean up ENGINE mentions
Engines are removed and the documentation should reflect that, even with
deprecated and legacy API.

=head1 NAME
EVP_PKEY-HMAC, EVP_KEYMGMT-HMAC, EVP_PKEY-Siphash, EVP_KEYMGMT-Siphash,
EVP_PKEY-Poly1305, EVP_KEYMGMT-Poly1305, EVP_PKEY-CMAC, EVP_KEYMGMT-CMAC
- EVP_PKEY legacy MAC keytypes and algorithm support
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<HMAC> and B<CMAC> key types are implemented in OpenSSL's default and FIPS
providers. Additionally the B<Siphash> and B<Poly1305> key types are implemented
in the default provider. Performing MAC operations via an EVP_PKEY
is considered legacy and are only available for backwards compatibility purposes
and for a restricted set of algorithms. The preferred way of performing MAC
operations is via the EVP_MAC APIs. See L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>.
For further details on using EVP_PKEY based MAC keys see
L<EVP_SIGNATURE-HMAC(7)>, L<EVP_SIGNATURE-Siphash(7)>,
L<EVP_SIGNATURE-Poly1305(7)> or L<EVP_SIGNATURE-CMAC(7)>.
=head2 Common MAC parameters
All the B<MAC> keytypes support the following parameters.
=over 4
=item "priv" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY>) <octet string>
The MAC key value.
=item "properties" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
A property query string to be used when any algorithms are fetched.
=back
=head2 CMAC parameters
As well as the parameters described above, the B<CMAC> keytype additionally
supports the following parameters.
=over 4
=item "cipher" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_CIPHER>) <UTF8 string>
The name of a cipher to be used when generating the MAC.
=back
=head2 Common MAC key generation parameters
MAC key generation is unusual in that no new key is actually generated. Instead
a new provider side key object is created with the supplied raw key value. This
is done for backwards compatibility with previous versions of OpenSSL.
=over 4
=item "priv" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY>) <octet string>
The MAC key value.
=back
=head2 CMAC key generation parameters
In addition to the common MAC key generation parameters, the CMAC key generation
additionally recognises the following.
=over 4
=item "cipher" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_CIPHER>) <UTF8 string>
The name of a cipher to be used when generating the MAC.
=back
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<EVP_KEYMGMT(3)>, L<EVP_PKEY(3)>, L<provider-keymgmt(7)>
=head1 HISTORY
The CMAC parameter I<engine> (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_ENGINE>) was removed in
OpenSSL 4.0.
