doc: improve documentation of EVP in-place encryption
The EVP interface explicitly allows in-place encryption/decryption, but this fact is just 'partially' documented in `EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)` (pun intended): the manual page mentions only operation failure in case of 'partial' overlaps. This is not even correct, because the check for partially overlapping buffers is only implemented in legacy code paths. Currently, in-place encryption/decryption is only documented for RSA (`RSA_public_encrypt(3)`) and DES (`DES_ecb_encrypt(3)`), as well as in the provider interface (`provider-cipher(7)`). This commit amends `EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)` and `provider-cipher(7)` to make the front-end and back-end documentation consistent.
