DOC: Fixup the description of the -x509_strict option
POD commands must always be surrounded by blank lines POD transformers read everything in paragraph mode. The following lines become *one* command, where the second line becomes part of the text of the first, including the command itself. In other words, this: =item something =item something else Translates to this in a man-page: something =item something else Reviewed-by: David von Oheimb <david.von.oheimb@siemens.com> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/13412)
