docs: crypto: convert api-intro.txt to ReST format

- Change title markups;
- Mark literal blocks;
- Use list markups at authors/credits;
- Add blank lines when needed;
- Remove trailing whitespaces.

 very simple, while hiding the core logic from both.  Many good ideas
 from existing APIs such as Cryptoapi and Nettle have been adapted for this.
