726b5e7132 Reject negative shifts for BN_rshift and BN_lshift
The functions BN_rshift and BN_lshift shift their arguments to the right or
left by a specified number of bits. Unpredicatable results (including
crashes) can occur if a negative number is supplied for the shift value.

Thanks to Mateusz Kocielski (LogicalTrust), Marek Kroemeke and Filip Palian
for discovering and reporting this issue.

491f3e4e8e Make OPENSSL_config truly ignore errors.
Per discussion: should not exit. Should not print to stderr.
Errors are ignored.  Updated doc to reflect that, and the fact
that this function is to be avoided.

02e8d46119 Clarified that the signature's buffer size, s, is not used as an
IN parameter.

Under the old docs, the only thing stated was "at most
EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) bytes will be written". It was kind of misleading
since it appears EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) WILL be written regardless of the
signature's buffer size.

08f8933fa3 Fix POD errors to stop make install_docs dying with pod2man 2.5.0+
podlators 2.5.0 has switched to dying on POD syntax errors. This means
that a bunch of long-standing erroneous POD in the openssl documentation
now leads to fatal errors from pod2man, halting installation.

Unfortunately POD constraints mean that you have to sort numeric lists
in ascending order if they start with 1: you cannot do 1, 0, 2 even if
you want 1 to appear first. I've reshuffled such (alas, I wish there
were a better way but I don't know of one).
