Subject: Improve a rather misleading sentence about EVP_PKEY_new_mac_key(3).
 It does *not* "work in the same way" as EVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key(3) but
 merely arrives at the same end result after doing lots of cumbersome and
 unnecessary work - and on top of that, it only works for EVP_PKEY_HMAC.
