Gustaf Neumann 490c87110c Align documentation with recommendations of Linux Documentation Project
This change applies the recommendation of the Linux Documentation Project
to the documentation files of OpenSSL. Additionally, util/find-doc-nits
was updated accordingly.

The change follows a suggestion of mspncp on https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/12370
and incoporates the requested changes on the pull request

=head1 NAME
SSL_do_handshake - perform a TLS/SSL handshake
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_do_handshake(SSL *ssl);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_do_handshake() will wait for a SSL/TLS handshake to take place. If the
connection is in client mode, the handshake will be started. The handshake
routines may have to be explicitly set in advance using either
L<SSL_set_connect_state(3)> or
L<SSL_set_accept_state(3)>.
=head1 NOTES
The behaviour of SSL_do_handshake() depends on the underlying BIO.
If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_do_handshake() will only return
once the handshake has been finished or an error occurred.
If the underlying BIO is B<nonblocking>, SSL_do_handshake() will also return
when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_do_handshake()
to continue the handshake. In this case a call to SSL_get_error() with the
return value of SSL_do_handshake() will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ> or
B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE>. The calling process then must repeat the call after
taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of SSL_do_handshake().
The action depends on the underlying BIO. When using a nonblocking socket,
nothing is to be done, but select() can be used to check for the required
condition. When using a buffering BIO, like a BIO pair, data must be written
into or retrieved out of the BIO before being able to continue.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The following return values can occur:
=over 4
=item Z<>0
The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and
by the specifications of the TLS/SSL protocol. Call SSL_get_error() with the
return value B<ret> to find out the reason.
=item Z<>1
The TLS/SSL handshake was successfully completed, a TLS/SSL connection has been
established.
=item E<lt>0
The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful because a fatal error occurred either
at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred. The shutdown was
not clean. It can also occur if action is needed to continue the operation
for nonblocking BIOs. Call SSL_get_error() with the return value B<ret>
to find out the reason.
