Previously the documentation for `SSL_CIPHER_description` said:
> If buf is provided, it must be at least 128 bytes, otherwise a buffer
> will be allocated using OPENSSL_malloc().
In reality, `OPENSSL_malloc` is only invoked if the provided `buf`
argument is `NULL`. If the `buf` arg is not `NULL`, but smaller than
128 bytes, the function returns `NULL` without attempting to allocate
a new buffer for the description.
This commit adjusts the documentation to better describe the implemented
behaviour.

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.

"Early callback" is a little ambiguous now that early data exists.
Perhaps "ClientHello callback"?
