3dbf824380 Clarify the deprecation warnings in the docs
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.

   Formatting conventions (general)

       Filenames (whether pathnames, or references to header files) are always
       in italics (e.g., <stdio.h>), except in the SYNOPSIS section, where in‐
       cluded files are in bold (e.g., #include <stdio.h>).  When referring to

be80b21d2a Docs: better deprecation text
Expand the text on deprecation to be more descriptive and to refer
back to openssl_user_macros(7).

Incidently, this required a small change in util/find-doc-nits, to
have it skip over any line that isn't part of a block (i.e. that
hasn't been indented with at least one space.  That makes it skip over
deprecation text.

e9b7724687 doc/man3: reformat the function prototypes in the synopses
I tried hard to keep the lines at 80 characters or less, but in a few
cases I had to punt and just indented the subsequent lines by 4 spaces.

A few well-placed typedefs for callback functions would really help, but
these would be part of the API, so that's probably for later.

I also took the liberty of inserting empty lines in overlong blocks to
provide some visual space.
