While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they
serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for
the user to find certain information if it is always presented in
the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying
formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags,
etc. were added in which OpenSSL version.
It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by
avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the
corresponding version number in which they were introduced
(wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors
were fixed on the way.

Standardized the -rand flag and added a new one:
-rand file...
Always reads the specified files
-writerand file
Always writes to the file on exit
For apps that use a config file, the RANDFILE config parameter reads
the file at startup (to seed the RNG) and write to it on exit if
the -writerand flag isn't used.
Ensured that every app that took -rand also took -writerand, and
made sure all of that agreed with all the documentation.
Fix error reporting in write_file and -rand
