tidy-up: Markdown, clang-format nits
- drop leading indent from Markdown. - switch to Markdown section markers where missing. - move `&&` and `||` to the end of the line (C, Perl). - openssl: add parenthesis to an if sub-expression. - misc clang-format nits. - unfold Markdown links. - SSL-PROBLEMS.md: drop stray half code-fence. Closes #20402
