2021-12-06Clarify the deprecation warnings in the docsMatt Caswell
There was recently an instance where a user was confused by the deprecation warnings in the docs. They believed the warning applied to the immediately preceding function declarations, when it fact it applied to the following function declarations. https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2021-December/014665.html We clarify the wording to make it clear that the warning applies to the following functions.

2019-06-27man: clarify the 'random number generator must be seeded' requirementDr. Matthias St. Pierre
The manual pages require for some API functions that the 'random number generator must be seeded' before calling the function. Initially, this was meant literally, i.e. the OpenSSL CSPRNG had to be seeded manually before calling these functions. Since version 1.1.1, the CSPRNG is seeded automatically on first use, so it's not the responsibility of the programmer anymore. Still, he needs to be aware that the seeding might fail.
