2019-04-15Update various man pages to place HISTORY section after SEE ALSOJoshua Lock
SEE ALSO before HISTORY is the more common pattern in OpenSSL manual pages and seems to be the prevalent order based on sampling my system manual pages.

2018-12-15man: harmonize the various formulations in the HISTORY sectionsDr. Matthias St. Pierre
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. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7854)
