This expands on some of the core type descriptions, and also makes it
easier to find the documentation for each type, at least on Unix, with
a simple call like "man OSSL_ALGORITHM".

This was initiated by the discussion in #19827.

@baentsch, would you mind looking at this and see if this corresponds
to what you and I have discussed?

This expands on some of the core type descriptions, and also makes it
easier to find the documentation for each type, at least on Unix, with
a simple call like "man OSSL_ALGORITHM".
The types OSSL_DISPATCH, OSSL_ITEM, OSSL_ALGORITHM, OSSL_PARAM,
OSSL_CALLBACK, and OSSL_PASSPHRASE_CALLBACK are described in their own
manual page, so we change every mention of them to links to those pages.

Except some nits, LGTM. man OSSL_ALGORITHM is a great help: Thanks (on behalf of all people reading man pages :)!
