bb82531f65 POD: stop abusing comment
OpenSSL uses some POD directives masquerading as 'comment'
('=for comment' etc).  This is abusive and confusing.  Instead, we use
our own keyword.

    =for openssl whatever

    =begin openssl

    whatever

    =end openssl

(we have never used the multiline form, but might start one day)

dfabee82be Make doc/man7/ and doc/internal/man3/ conform with man-pages(7)
It's all in the details, from man-pages(7):

    Formatting conventions for manual pages describing functions

        ...
        Variable names should, like argument names, be specified in italics.
        ...

    Formatting conventions (general)

        ...
        Special macros, which are usually in uppercase, are in bold.
        Exception: don't boldface NULL.
        ...

485d336137 Do not have duplicate section heads
Change find-doc-nits to complain if a section header is repeated,
within a parent header (i.e., duplicate =head2 within a =head1).
In almost all cases, we just remove the duplicate header, as
it was a "continuation" of the =head1 that was already in affect.
In some cases, just remove "=head1 NOTES", possibly moving text
around, because the "NOTES" were really important parts of the
DESCRIPTION section.

No =headX sections should end with a period.
All =head1 labels should be in all uppercase.
No sub-head (=head2, etc) should be in all uppercase.
Update find-doc-nits to reject the above.

Fixup an internal POD link
