=head1 NAME
Fix various doc nits. find-doc-nits warns if you don't give a "what to do flag" Don't use regexps for section names, just strings: More consistency. Rename "COMMAND OPTIONS" to OPTIONS. Fix a couple of other nit-level things. Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/2076)

Restore the ERR_FATAL_ERROR() macro Commit 0cd0a820abc6124cf8e176fa92d620a2abf9e419 removed this macro along with many unused function and reason codes; ERR_FATAL_ERROR() was not used in the tree, but did have external consumers. Add it back to restore the API compatibility and avoid breaking applications for no internal benefit.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The error code returned by ERR_get_error() consists of a library
number, function code and reason code. ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC()
and ERR_GET_REASON() can be used to extract these.

ERR_FATAL_ERROR() indicates whether a given error code is a fatal error.

The library number and function code describe where the error
occurred, the reason code is the information about what went wrong.
Each sub-library of OpenSSL has a unique library number; function and
reason codes are unique within each sub-library. Note that different
libraries may use the same value to signal different functions and
reasons.
B<ERR_R_...> reason codes such as B<ERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE> are globally
unique. However, when checking for sub-library specific reason codes,
be sure to also compare the library number.
