b2bdfb63eb Command docs: diverse small fixes
Better synopsis for 'openssl dgst' and 'openssl enc', correct names
for 'openssl rehash' ('c_rehash' is mentioned there too), correct
option end marker for 'openssl verify', and finally, refer to
sub-commands as sub-commands.

35a810bb1d Command docs: fix up command references
Almost all OpenSSL commands are in reality 'openssl cmd', so make sure
they are refered to like that and not just as the sub-command.

Self-references are avoided as much as is possible, and replaced with
"this command".  In some cases, we even avoid that with a slight
rewrite of the sentence or paragrah they were in.  However, in the few
cases where a self-reference is still admissible, they are done in
bold, i.e. openssl-speed.pod references itself like this:

    B<openssl speed>

References to other commands are done as manual links, i.e. CA.pl.pod
references 'openssl req' like this: L<openssl-req(1)>

Some commands are examples rather than references; we enclose those in
C<>.

While we are it, we abolish "utility", replacing it with "command", or
remove it entirely in some cases.

Quite a lot of replacables were still bold, and some options were
mentioned without a beginning dash.

e8769719c9 Consistent formatting of flags with args
For documentation of all commands with "-flag arg" format them
consistently: "B<-flag> I<arg>", except when arg is literal
(for example "B<-inform> B<PEM>|B<DER>")
Update find-doc-nits to complain if badly formatted strings are found.

b6b66573bd Deprecate unprefixed manual entries for openssl commands
Initially, the manual page entry for the 'openssl cmd' command used
to be available at 'cmd(1)'. Later, the aliases 'openssl-cmd(1)' was
introduced, which made it easier to group the openssl commands using
the 'apropos(1)' command or the shell's tab completion.

In order to reduce cluttering of the global manual page namespace,
the manual page entries without the 'openssl-' prefix have been
deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and will be removed in OpenSSL 4.0.
