Provide a "simple" example for affecting the systemwide default behavior
of libssl. The large number of mandatory nested sections makes this
less simple than the main description might suggest.

OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a new CSPRNG with an improved seeding
mechanism, which makes it dispensable to define a RANDFILE for
saving and restoring randomness. This commit removes the RANDFILE
declarations from our own configuration files and adds documentation
that this option is not needed anymore and retained mainly for
compatibility reasons.

Change find-doc-nits to complain if a section header is repeated,
within a parent header (i.e., duplicate =head2 within a =head1).
In almost all cases, we just remove the duplicate header, as
it was a "continuation" of the =head1 that was already in affect.
In some cases, just remove "=head1 NOTES", possibly moving text
around, because the "NOTES" were really important parts of the
DESCRIPTION section.
No =headX sections should end with a period.
All =head1 labels should be in all uppercase.
No sub-head (=head2, etc) should be in all uppercase.
Update find-doc-nits to reject the above.

If the old openssl versions not supporting the .include directive
load a config file with it, they will bail out with error.
This change allows using the .include = <filename> syntax which
is interpreted as variable assignment by the old openssl

This places a limit on the length of a value that can result from an

This removes the fips configure option. This option is broken as the
required FIPS code is not available.
FIPS_mode() and FIPS_mode_set() are retained for compatibility, but
FIPS_mode() always returns 0, and FIPS_mode_set() can only be used to
turn FIPS mode off.
