Deprecate the low level AES functions
Use of the low level AES functions has been informally discouraged for a long time. We now formally deprecate them. Applications should instead use the EVP APIs, e.g. EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the equivalently named decrypt functions.

+ *) All of the low level AES functions have been deprecated including:
+ AES_options, AES_set_encrypt_key, AES_set_decrypt_key, AES_encrypt,
+ AES_decrypt, AES_ecb_encrypt, AES_cbc_encrypt, AES_cfb128_encrypt,
+ AES_cfb1_encrypt, AES_cfb8_encrypt, AES_ofb128_encrypt, AES_wrap_key and
+ AES_unwrap_key
+ Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
+ time. Instead applications should use the high level EVP APIs, e.g.
+ EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the
+ equivalently named decrypt functions.
+
+ The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have also been
deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
