Multi-prime RSA keys (those that are products of three or more large primes) are discouraged in general and rarely used.

As of Go 1.20, the PrecomputedValues.CRTValues supporting multiprime keys will still be computed and filled in, but to reduce the attack surface of crypto/rsa, those values will no longer be used by decryption.

PrecomputedValues.CRTValues and GenerateMultiPrimeKey were marked deprecated during the Go 1.20 cycle, but without a proposal review. I'm rolling back the deprecation marks in an upcoming CL (gopherbot will report it) and am filing this issue to discuss adding the deprecation marks.

I don't anticipate any controversy about deprecating these, the proposal process should confirm that.

crypto/rsa: remove deprecation markers for multiprime RSA support

These should be marked deprecated, but that needs a
(likely quick) proposal review.

The proposal is #56921.
