Documentation for crypto programming interfaces lack explicit title.
As such, all its sections become entries in the toctree index.
Add the title heading to tidy up toctree.

software_key_query() returns the maximum signature and digest size for a
given key to user space. When it only supported RSA keys, calculating
those sizes was trivial as they were always equivalent to the key size.
However when ECDSA was added, the function grew somewhat complicated
calculations which take the ASN.1 encoding and curve into account.
This doesn't scale well and adjusting the calculations is easily
forgotten when adding support for new encodings or curves. In fact,
when NIST P521 support was recently added, the function was initially
not amended:

Introduce a ->max_size() callback to struct sig_alg and take advantage
of it to move the signature size calculations to ecdsa-x962.c.
Introduce a ->digest_size() callback to struct sig_alg and move the
maximum ECDSA digest size to ecdsa.c. It is common across ecdsa-x962.c
and the upcoming ecdsa-p1363.c and thus inherited by both of them.
For all other algorithms, continue using the key size as maximum
signature and digest size.

crypto_sig_maxsize() is a bit of a misnomer as it doesn't return the
maximum signature size, but rather the key size.
Rename it as well as all implementations of the ->max_size callback.
A subsequent commit introduces a crypto_sig_maxsize() function which
returns the actual maximum signature size.
While at it, change the return type of crypto_sig_keysize() from int to
unsigned int for consistency with crypto_akcipher_maxsize(). None of
the callers checks for a negative return value and an error condition
can always be indicated by returning zero.

Commit 6cb8815f41a9 ("crypto: sig - Add interface for sign/verify")
began a transition of asymmetric sign/verify operations from
crypto_akcipher to a new crypto_sig frontend.
Internally, the crypto_sig frontend still uses akcipher_alg as backend,
however:
"The link between sig and akcipher is meant to be temporary. The
plan is to create a new low-level API for sig and then migrate
the signature code over to that from akcipher."
https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZrG6w9wsb-iiLZIF@gondor.apana.org.au/
"having a separate alg for sig is definitely where we want to
be since there is very little that the two types actually share."
https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZrHlpz4qnre0zWJO@gondor.apana.org.au/
Take the next step of that migration and augment the crypto_sig frontend
with a sig_alg backend to which all algorithms can be moved.
During the migration, there will briefly be signature algorithms that
are still based on crypto_akcipher, whilst others are already based on
crypto_sig. Allow for that by building a fork into crypto_sig_*() API
calls (i.e. crypto_sig_maxsize() and friends) such that one of the two
backends is selected based on the transform's cra_type.
