Dr. Matthias St. Pierre 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.

=head1 NAME
X509_get_subject_name, X509_set_subject_name, X509_get_issuer_name,
X509_set_issuer_name, X509_REQ_get_subject_name, X509_REQ_set_subject_name,
X509_CRL_get_issuer, X509_CRL_set_issuer_name - get and set issuer or
subject names
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
X509_NAME *X509_get_subject_name(const X509 *x);
int X509_set_subject_name(X509 *x, X509_NAME *name);
X509_NAME *X509_get_issuer_name(const X509 *x);
int X509_set_issuer_name(X509 *x, X509_NAME *name);
X509_NAME *X509_REQ_get_subject_name(const X509_REQ *req);
int X509_REQ_set_subject_name(X509_REQ *req, X509_NAME *name);
X509_NAME *X509_CRL_get_issuer(const X509_CRL *crl);
int X509_CRL_set_issuer_name(X509_CRL *x, X509_NAME *name);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
X509_get_subject_name() returns the subject name of certificate B<x>. The
returned value is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed.
X509_set_subject_name() sets the issuer name of certificate B<x> to
B<name>. The B<name> parameter is copied internally and should be freed
up when it is no longer needed.
X509_get_issuer_name() and X509_set_issuer_name() are identical to
X509_get_subject_name() and X509_set_subject_name() except the get and
set the issuer name of B<x>.
Similarly X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(),
X509_CRL_get_issuer() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() get or set the subject
or issuer names of certificate requests of CRLs respectively.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
X509_get_subject_name(), X509_get_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_get_subject_name()
and X509_CRL_get_issuer() return an B<X509_NAME> pointer.
X509_set_subject_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name()
and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
=head1 HISTORY
X509_REQ_get_subject_name() is a function in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and a macro in
earlier versions.
X509_CRL_get_issuer() is a function in OpenSSL 1.1.0. It was previously
added in OpenSSL 1.0.0 as a macro.
