Richard Levitte 4674aaf4f2 In documentation, consistently refer to OpenSSL 3.0
3.0.0 is a habit from pre-3.0 OpenSSL, which doesn't make sense with
the new version scheme.

=head1 NAME
OPENSSL_CTX, OPENSSL_CTX_new, OPENSSL_CTX_free - OpenSSL library context
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/crypto.h>
typedef struct openssl_ctx_st OPENSSL_CTX;
OPENSSL_CTX *OPENSSL_CTX_new(void);
void OPENSSL_CTX_free(OPENSSL_CTX *ctx);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<OPENSSL_CTX> is an internal OpenSSL library context type.
Applications may allocate their own, but may also use C<NULL> to use
the internal default context with functions that take a C<OPENSSL_CTX>
argument.
OPENSSL_CTX_new() creates a new OpenSSL library context.
When a non default library context is in use care should be taken with
multi-threaded applications to properly clean up thread local resources before
the OPENSSL_CTX is freed.
See L<OPENSSL_thread_stop_ex(3)> for more information.
OPENSSL_CTX_free() frees the given C<ctx>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
OPENSSL_CTX_new() return a library context pointer on success, or
C<NULL> on error.
OPENSSL_CTX_free() doesn't return any value.
=head1 HISTORY
OPENSSL_CTX, OPENSSL_CTX_new() and OPENSSL_CTX_free()
were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
