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
ERR_load_crypto_strings, SSL_load_error_strings, ERR_free_strings -
load and free error strings
=head1 SYNOPSIS
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)>:
#include <openssl/err.h>
void ERR_load_crypto_strings(void);
void ERR_free_strings(void);
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_load_error_strings(void);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
ERR_load_crypto_strings() registers the error strings for all
B<libcrypto> functions. SSL_load_error_strings() does the same,
but also registers the B<libssl> error strings.
In versions prior to OpenSSL 1.1.0,
ERR_free_strings() releases any resources created by the above functions.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
ERR_load_crypto_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings() and
ERR_free_strings() return no values.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<ERR_error_string(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
The ERR_load_crypto_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings(), and
ERR_free_strings() functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0 by
OPENSSL_init_crypto() and OPENSSL_init_ssl() and should not be used.
