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
i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream - output PKCS7 structure in BER format
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
int i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream(BIO *out, PKCS7 *p7, BIO *data, int flags);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() outputs a PKCS7 structure in BER format.
It is otherwise identical to the function SMIME_write_PKCS7().
=head1 NOTES
This function is effectively a version of the d2i_PKCS7_bio() supporting
streaming.
=head1 BUGS
The prefix "i2d" is arguably wrong because the function outputs BER format.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.

L<PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
The i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() function was added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.
