Update the documented return values for the EVP_DigestVerifyInit, EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate, EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1 and EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param so they match the code.
Justification: EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1: returns -1 on failure and 1 or the size of the IV on success. https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/crypto/evp/evp_lib.c#L64 EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param: returns -1 on failure or 1 or the size of the IV on success (checked also with the RC2 ASN.1 parameter parsing). https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/crypto/evp/evp_lib.c#L81 EVP_DigestVerifyInit only returns 0 on failure or 1 on success: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/crypto/evp/m_sigver.c#L116 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate is #defined to EVP_DigestUpdate that is already documented to return 1 for success or 0 for failure Typedef location https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/include/openssl/evp.h#L589
