1. [DOC] remove top-level example for OpenSSL::Cipher#pkcs5_keyivgen …

   OpenSSL::Cipher#pkcs5_keyivgen should only be used when it is
   absolutely necessary for compatibility with ancient applications.
   Having an example can be misleading. We already have another example
   for OpenSSL::Cipher in which PBKDF2 is used to derive a key.
   
   As described in the rdoc of OpenSSL::Cipher#pkcs5_keyivgen, it is
   compatible with PKCS#5 PBES1 (PKCS#5 v1.5) only when used in combination
   of a hash function MD2, MD5, or SHA-1, and a cipher DES-CBC or RC2-CBC.
   This example uses MD5 as the hash function and combines it with AES.
   This is considered insecure and also using a non-standard technique to
   derive longer keys.
