Rich Salz a528d4f0a9 Remove SSLeay history, etc., from docs
If something was "present in all versions" of SSLeay, or if it was
added to a version of SSLeay (and therefore predates OpenSSL),
remove mention of it.  Documentation history now starts with OpenSSL.

Remove mention of all history before OpenSSL 0.9.8, inclusive.

Remove all AUTHOR sections.

=head1 NAME
BN_mod_inverse - compute inverse modulo n
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h>
BIGNUM *BN_mod_inverse(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *n,
BN_CTX *ctx);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
BN_mod_inverse() computes the inverse of B<a> modulo B<n>
places the result in B<r> (C<(a*r)%n==1>). If B<r> is NULL,
a new B<BIGNUM> is created.
B<ctx> is a previously allocated B<BN_CTX> used for temporary
variables. B<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as B<a> or B<n>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
BN_mod_inverse() returns the B<BIGNUM> containing the inverse, and
NULL on error. The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
