Subject: Add EVP_AEAD_CTX_init(3) manpage to document the new(ish) AEAD API.
 The "authenticated encryption with additional data" API is used for ciphers
 like AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305.  The manpage is a beginning and certainly
 needs more work, especially improvements in the EXAMPLES section.

Based on agl's source code comments.
