  Log Message:
  -----------
  Document SM4 table-lookup side-channel risk

Note in EVP_CIPHER-SM4(7) that SM4 implementations may use
secret-dependent table lookups and are not guaranteed to be
constant-time. Mention the portable C path as a concrete example
and point to CPU capability man pages for code-path selection.
