We have a few pages where part of function names can be considered
variable. There are no normative guidelines for such a case, but if
we draw from the formatting convention of variable and argument names,
we can draw the conclusion that this variable part should be italized,
within already given conventions. In other words, we need to help the
POD processor along in cases like these:
SPARSE_ARRAY_OF(TYPE)
ossl_sa_TYPE_num()
These need explicit formatting:
B<SPARSE_ARRAY_OF>(I<TYPE>)
B<ossl_sa_I<TYPE>_num>()

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.

This means include deallocation information in the return from
the ossl_param_bld_to_param function.

A fuller implementation of PARAMS_TEMPLATE as per #9266 but renamed.
This introduces a statis data type which can be used to constructor a
description of a parameter array. It can then be converted into a OSSL_PARAM
array and the allocated storage freed by a single call to OPENSSL_free.
