Matt Caswell 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.

=head1 NAME
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms, OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers, OpenSSL_add_all_digests, EVP_cleanup -
add algorithms to internal table
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 1.1.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
void OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(void);
void OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers(void);
void OpenSSL_add_all_digests(void);
void EVP_cleanup(void);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
OpenSSL keeps an internal table of digest algorithms and ciphers. It uses
this table to lookup ciphers via functions such as EVP_get_cipher_byname().
OpenSSL_add_all_digests() adds all digest algorithms to the table.
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() adds all algorithms to the table (digests and
ciphers).
OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() adds all encryption algorithms to the table including
password based encryption algorithms.
In versions prior to 1.1.0 EVP_cleanup() removed all ciphers and digests from
the table. It no longer has any effect in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
None of the functions return a value.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<evp(7)>, L<EVP_DigestInit(3)>,
L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
The OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(), OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers(),
OpenSSL_add_all_digests(), and EVP_cleanup(), functions
were deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0 by OPENSSL_init_crypto() and should
not be used.
