Rich Salz a397aca435 Refactor many common flags into openssl.pod
Options moved: -rand, -writerand, -CApath, -CAfile, -no-CApath, -no-CAfile
Added rand to dgst and srp manpages (they were missing them).
New sections in openssl.pod: Random State Options, Trusted Certificate
Options.
Cleanup and add comments to find-doc-nits
Remove ".in" file support; unless giving specific arguments, this
only runs after configuration
