Specifically, an ASN.1 NumericString in the certificate CN will fail UTF-8 conversion
and result in a negative return value, which the "x509 -checkhost" command-line option
incorrectly interpreted as success.
Also update X509_check_host docs to reflect reality.
Thanks to Sean Burford (Google) for reporting this issue.

Remove support for SHA0 and DSS0 (they were broken), and remove
the ability to attempt to build without SHA (it didn't work).
For simplicity, remove the option of not building various SHA algorithms;
you could argue that SHA_224/256/384/512 should be kept, since they're
like crypto algorithms, but I decided to go the other way.
So these options are gone:
GENUINE_DSA OPENSSL_NO_SHA0
OPENSSL_NO_SHA OPENSSL_NO_SHA1
OPENSSL_NO_SHA224 OPENSSL_NO_SHA256
OPENSSL_NO_SHA384 OPENSSL_NO_SHA512

Per discussion: should not exit. Should not print to stderr.
Errors are ignored. Updated doc to reflect that, and the fact
that this function is to be avoided.

Show only the #define, not the values, in BIO_f_buffer. Data
abstraction and we can remove a "see also" entry.
Remove internal forward reference to NOTES in EVP_EncryptInit; just
say "see below" as we do in the other pages.
Add missing (3) in pem.pod so the L<> entry is consistent.
Fix entry to point to the "master" page, not the symlink'd one.

If data is NULL, return the size needed to hold the

The original RT request included a patch. By the time
we got around to doing it, however, the callback scheme
had changed. So I wrote a new function RSA_check_key_ex()
that uses the BN_GENCB callback. But thanks very much
to Vinet Sharma <vineet.sharma@gmail.com> for the
initial implementation.

RT1665: aes documentation.
Paul Green wrote a nice aes.pod file.
But we now encourage the EVP interface.
So I took his RT item and used it as impetus to add
the AES modes to EVP_EncryptInit.pod
I also noticed that rc4.pod has spurious references to some other
cipher pages, so I removed them.
RT2300: Clean up MD history (merged into RT1665)
Put HISTORY section only in EVP_DigestInit.pod. Also add words
to discourage use of older cipher-specific API, and remove SEE ALSO
links that point to them.
Make sure digest pages have a NOTE that says use EVP_DigestInit.
Review feedback:
More cleanup in EVP_EncryptInit.pod
Fixed SEE ALSO links in ripemd160.pod, sha.pod, mdc2.pod, blowfish.pod,
rc4.d, and des.pod. Re-order sections in des.pod for consistency

In two OpenSSL manual pages, in the NAME section, the last word of the
name list is followed by a stray trailing comma. While this may seem
minor, it is worth fixing because it may confuse some makewhatis(8)
implementations.
While here, also add the missing word "size" to the one line
description in SSL_CTX_set_max_cert_list(3).
