Beat Bolli 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.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of B<ne> in
and B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of B<ne> in
and B<ASN1_STRING> structure.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of B<ne> to B<obj>.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of B<ne> to string type
B<type> and value determined by B<bytes> and B<len>.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID()
and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
B<X509_NAME_ENTRY> structure.
=head1 NOTES
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() can be
used to examine an B<X509_NAME_ENTRY> function as returned by
X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(),
and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(),
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data()
are seldom used in practice because B<X509_NAME_ENTRY> structures
are almost always part of B<X509_NAME> structures and the
corresponding B<X509_NAME> functions are typically used to
create and add new entries in a single operation.
The arguments of these functions support similar options to the similarly
named ones of the corresponding B<X509_NAME> functions such as
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for example B<type> can be set to
B<MBSTRING_ASC> but in the case of X509_set_data() the field name must be
set first so the relevant field information can be looked up internally.
