cadbbd51c8 Don't prefer ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be Safari on OS X.
OS X 10.8..10.8.3 has broken support for ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers.

8988407a0b Fix POD errors to stop make install_docs dying with pod2man 2.5.0+
podlators 2.5.0 has switched to dying on POD syntax errors. This means
that a bunch of long-standing erroneous POD in the openssl documentation
now leads to fatal errors from pod2man, halting installation.

Unfortunately POD constraints mean that you have to sort numeric lists
in ascending order if they start with 1: you cannot do 1, 0, 2 even if
you want 1 to appear first. I've reshuffled such (alas, I wish there
were a better way but I don't know of one).

bc06baca76 Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). Although these aren't used
directly by SSL/TLS SHA2 certificates are becoming more common and
applications that only call SSL_library_init() and not
OpenSSL_add_all_alrgorithms() will fail when verifying certificates.

Update docs.

442ac8d259 Allow renegotiation if SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT is set as well as
initial connection to unpatched servers. There are no additional security
concerns in doing this as clients don't see renegotiation during an

e0db2eed8d Correct and enhance the behaviour of "internal" session caching as it
relates to SSL_CTX flags and the use of "external" session caching. The
existing flag, "SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP" remains but is
supplemented with a complimentary flag, "SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE".
The bitwise OR of the two flags is also defined as
"SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL" and is the flag that should be used by most
applications wanting to implement session caching *entirely* by its own
provided callbacks. As the documented behaviour contradicted actual
behaviour up until recently, and since that point behaviour has itself been
inconsistent anyway, this change should not introduce any compatibility
problems. I've adjusted the relevant documentation to elaborate about how
this works.

Kudos to "Nadav Har'El" <nyh@math.technion.ac.il> for diagnosing these
anomalies and testing this patch for correctness.
