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
EVP_PKEY_supports_digest_nid - indicate support for signature digest
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_PKEY_supports_digest_nid(EVP_PKEY *pkey, int nid);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The EVP_PKEY_supports_digest_nid() function queries whether the message digest
NID B<nid> is supported for public key signature operations associated with key
B<pkey>.
=head1 NOTES
If the EVP_PKEY implementation does not explicitly support this method, but
L<EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid(3)> returns a mandatory digest result, then
only that mandatory digest will be supported.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The EVP_PKEY_supports_digest_nid() function returns 1 if the message digest
algorithm identified by B<nid> can be used for public key signature operations
associated with key B<pkey> and 0 if it cannot be used. It returns a negative
value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the query
operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
