Add docs for BIO_find_type() and friends.

Added function BIO_next() otherwise you can't
traverse a chain without accessing BIO internals.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The BIO_find_type() searches for a BIO of a given type in a chain, starting
at BIO B<b>. If B<type> is a specific type (such as BIO_TYPE_MEM) then a search
is made for a BIO of that type. If B<type> is a general type (such as
B<BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK>) then the next matching BIO of the given general type is
searched for. BIO_find_type() returns the next matching BIO or NULL if none is
found.

Note: not all the B<BIO_TYPE_*> types above have corresponding BIO implementations.

BIO_next() returns the next BIO in a chain. It can be used to traverse all BIOs
in a chain or used in conjunction with BIO_find_type() to find all BIOs of a
certain type.

BIO_method_type() returns the type of a BIO.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

BIO_find_type() returns a matching BIO or NULL for no match.

BIO_next() returns the next BIO in a chain.

BIO_method_type() returns the type of the BIO B<b>.

=head1 NOTES

BIO_next() was added to OpenSSL 0.9.6 to provide a 'clean' way to traverse a BIO
chain or find multiple matches using BIO_find_type(). Previous versions had to
use:

 next = bio->next_bio;

=head1 EXAMPLE

Traverse a chain looking for digest BIOs:

 BIO *btmp;
 btmp = in_bio;	/* in_bio is chain to search through */

 for(;;) {
 	btmp = BIO_find_type(btmp, BIO_TYPE_MD);
	if(btmp == NULL) break;	/* Not found */
	/* btmp is a digest BIO, do something with it ...*/
   	...

	btmp = BIO_next(btmp);
 }
