man page for gnutls_x509_crt_get_extension_info

Unlike other _get_() pages, the man page for this function does not 
explicitly state that if oid and sizeof_id are zeroes, sizeof_id gets filled 
in with the size of the buffer that needs to be allocated for the returned 
data.

But, a brief peek at the code does suggest that this is the case. Can this 
be clarified, in the man page?
