Also discuss reference-counting, mutability and safety.
Thanks to David Benjamin for pointing to comment text he added
to boringSSL's header files.

Details from man-pages(7) that are used:
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
a standard header file include, specify the header file surrounded by
angle brackets, in the usual C way (e.g., <stdio.h>).

Change find-doc-nits to complain if a section header is repeated,
within a parent header (i.e., duplicate =head2 within a =head1).
In almost all cases, we just remove the duplicate header, as
it was a "continuation" of the =head1 that was already in affect.
In some cases, just remove "=head1 NOTES", possibly moving text
around, because the "NOTES" were really important parts of the
DESCRIPTION section.
No =headX sections should end with a period.
All =head1 labels should be in all uppercase.
No sub-head (=head2, etc) should be in all uppercase.
Update find-doc-nits to reject the above.

CRYPTO_atomic_read was added with intention to read statistics counters,
but readings are effectively indistinguishable from regular load (even
in non-lock-free case). This is because you can get out-dated value in
both cases. CRYPTO_atomic_write was added for symmetry and was never used.
