Stephan Mueller 8d23da22ac crypto: doc - add KPP documentation
Add the KPP API documentation to the kernel crypto API Sphinx
documentation. This addition includes the documentation of the
ECDH and DH helpers which are needed to create the approrpiate input
data for the crypto_kpp_set_secret function.
