2014-08-12RT3239: Extra comma in NAME lines of two manpagesIngo Schwarze
In two OpenSSL manual pages, in the NAME section, the last word of the name list is followed by a stray trailing comma. While this may seem minor, it is worth fixing because it may confuse some makewhatis(8) implementations. While here, also add the missing word "size" to the one line description in SSL_CTX_set_max_cert_list(3). Reviewed by: Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@drh-consultancy.co.uk>

A client reference identity of ".example.com" matches a server certificate presented identity that is any sub-domain of "example.com" (e.g. "www.sub.example.com). With the X509_CHECK_FLAG_SINGLE_LABEL_SUBDOMAINS flag, it matches only direct child sub-domains (e.g. "www.sub.example.com").
