Masanari Iida 12f7c14aa6 crypto: doc - Fix typo in crypto-API.xml
This patch fix some typos found in crypto-API.xml.
It is because the file is generated from comments in sources,
so I had to fix typo in sources.

* entropy source. Internal use only.
* @seedsize: The seed size required for a random number generator
* initialization defined with this variable. Some
* random number generators does not require a seed
* as the seeding is implemented internally without
* the need of support by the consumer. In this case,
