    Document EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist functions

    Add documentation for EC_curve_nist2nid() and EC_curve_nid2nist()
    functions which were previously undocumented. These functions convert
    between OpenSSL NIDs and NIST standardized curve names (e.g., "P-256",
    "P-384", "P-521" for prime field curves and "B-163", "K-233", etc.
    for binary field curves).

    The documentation includes:
     - Function prototypes in the SYNOPSIS section
     - Detailed descriptions explaining the purpose and behavior
     - Examples of NIST curve names
     - Return value documentation

    Fixes #29180
