Dr. Matthias St. Pierre fc5ecaddd0 man: harmonize the various formulations in the HISTORY sections
While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they
serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for
the user to find certain information if it is always presented in
the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying
formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags,
etc. were added in which OpenSSL version.

It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by
avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the
corresponding version number in which they were introduced
(wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors
were fixed on the way.

=head1 NAME
X509_get_serialNumber,
X509_get0_serialNumber,
X509_set_serialNumber
- get or set certificate serial number
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
ASN1_INTEGER *X509_get_serialNumber(X509 *x);
const ASN1_INTEGER *X509_get0_serialNumber(const X509 *x);
int X509_set_serialNumber(X509 *x, ASN1_INTEGER *serial);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
X509_get_serialNumber() returns the serial number of certificate B<x> as an
B<ASN1_INTEGER> structure which can be examined or initialised. The value
returned is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed up after the call.
X509_get0_serialNumber() is the same as X509_get_serialNumber() except it
accepts a const parameter and returns a const result.
X509_set_serialNumber() sets the serial number of certificate B<x> to
B<serial>. A copy of the serial number is used internally so B<serial> should
be freed up after use.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
X509_get_serialNumber() and X509_get0_serialNumber() return an B<ASN1_INTEGER>
structure.
X509_set_serialNumber() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.

=head1 HISTORY
