  doc: document OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_BITS meaning for each key type

The EVP_PKEY_get_bits() documentation states that "the definition
of cryptographic length is specific to the key cryptosystem" but
doesn't explain what this means for each key type.

Add a detailed list explaining what "bits" represents for RSA, DSA,
DH, EC, X25519, X448, Ed25519, Ed448, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, and ML-KEM
key types to help users understand the return value.

Fixes #28337
