Specify the return values of some of these functions more precisely;

inspired by OpenSSL commit 1f13ad31 Dec 25 17:50:39 2017 +0800

but without creating a RETURN VALUES section because that makes
no sense here: it would either result in a confusing order of
information or in duplicate information.
