Dr. Matthias St. Pierre fc5ecaddd0 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.

=head1 NAME
SSL_want, SSL_want_nothing, SSL_want_read, SSL_want_write, SSL_want_x509_lookup,
SSL_want_async, SSL_want_async_job, SSL_want_client_hello_cb - obtain state
information TLS/SSL I/O operation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_want(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_nothing(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_read(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_write(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_x509_lookup(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_async(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_async_job(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_client_hello_cb(const SSL *ssl);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_want() returns state information for the SSL object B<ssl>.
The other SSL_want_*() calls are shortcuts for the possible states returned
by SSL_want().
=head1 NOTES
SSL_want() examines the internal state information of the SSL object. Its
return values are similar to that of L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
Unlike L<SSL_get_error(3)>, which also evaluates the
error queue, the results are obtained by examining an internal state flag
only. The information must therefore only be used for normal operation under
non-blocking I/O. Error conditions are not handled and must be treated
using L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
The result returned by SSL_want() should always be consistent with
the result of L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The following return values can currently occur for SSL_want():
=over 4
=item SSL_NOTHING
There is no data to be written or to be read.
=item SSL_WRITING
There are data in the SSL buffer that must be written to the underlying
B<BIO> layer in order to complete the actual SSL_*() operation.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE.
=item SSL_READING
More data must be read from the underlying B<BIO> layer in order to
complete the actual SSL_*() operation.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ.
=item SSL_X509_LOOKUP
The operation did not complete because an application callback set by
SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb() has asked to be called again.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP.
=item SSL_ASYNC_PAUSED
An asynchronous operation partially completed and was then paused. See
L<SSL_get_all_async_fds(3)>. A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC.
=item SSL_ASYNC_NO_JOBS
The asynchronous job could not be started because there were no async jobs
available in the pool (see ASYNC_init_thread(3)). A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)>
should return SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC_JOB.
=item SSL_CLIENT_HELLO_CB
The operation did not complete because an application callback set by
SSL_CTX_set_client_hello_cb() has asked to be called again.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_CLIENT_HELLO_CB.
=back
SSL_want_nothing(), SSL_want_read(), SSL_want_write(), SSL_want_x509_lookup(),
SSL_want_async(), SSL_want_async_job(), and SSL_want_client_hello_cb() return
1, when the corresponding condition is true or 0 otherwise.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<ssl(7)>, L<SSL_get_error(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
The SSL_want_client_hello_cb() function and the SSL_CLIENT_HELLO_CB return value
were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
