df75c2bfcd man: harmonize the various formulations in the HISTORY sections
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.

5ecff87d66 BN_pseudo_rand is really BN_rand
And BN_pseudo_rand_range is really BN_rand_range.
Document that we might deprecate those functions.
