Eugene Syromiatnikov 54ca0d0e22 OPENSSL_secure_malloc.pod: articulate possibly non-secure pointer being returned
The semantics of OPENSSL_secure_[mz]alloc is somewhat unorthodox,
as it silently return a pointer to non-secure memory if the arena
is not initialised, which, while mentioned in the DESCRIPTION, is not
clear from reading the pertaining part of the RETURNING VALUE section alone;
explicitly state that the memory may be allocated by OPENSSL_calloc instead
if the secure heap is not initialised.
