Subject: Catch up after beck@ fixed autoconfiguration: * Say more precisely
 what OPENSSL_config(3) and OPENSSL_no_config(3) do. * Revert the deprecation
 notice for them, nothing wrong with them. * Document
 OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CONFIG. * Deprecate OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(3), it's now
 automatic. * Add OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(3) HISTORY. Substantial feedback
 and OK beck@.
