  docs: clarify EVP_PKEY context workflow and operation descriptions

Document that a generated key is returned separately from its generation
context and that a new key-bound context is needed for subsequent
operations. Correct the encrypt and decrypt initialization descriptions
and examples accordingly.

Correct two copy-and-paste errors in the verify-recover documentation:
describe its initializer as starting a verify-recover operation and refer
to EVP_PKEY_verify_recover() when discussing its input.

Fixes #31989
