L<foo|foo> is sub-optimal If the xref is the same as the title,
which is what we do, then you only need L<foo>. This fixes all
1457 occurrences in 349 files. Approximately. (And pod used to
need both.)

Specifically, an ASN.1 NumericString in the certificate CN will fail UTF-8 conversion
and result in a negative return value, which the "x509 -checkhost" command-line option
incorrectly interpreted as success.
Also update X509_check_host docs to reflect reality.
Thanks to Sean Burford (Google) for reporting this issue.

Reduces number of silly casts in OpenSSL code and likely most
applications. Consistent with (char *) for "peername" value from
X509_check_host() and X509_VERIFY_PARAM_get0_peername().
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").

Fixes to X509 hostname and email address checking. Wildcard matching support.
New test program and manual page.
