Richard Levitte 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.

=head1 NAME
openssl-pkeyparam - public key algorithm parameter processing tool
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl> B<pkeyparam>
[B<-help>]
[B<-in> I<filename>]
[B<-out> I<filename>]
[B<-text>]
[B<-noout>]
[B<-engine> I<id>]
[B<-check>]
=for comment ifdef engine
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command processes public key algorithm parameters.
They can be checked for correctness and their components printed out.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print out a usage message.
=item B<-in> I<filename>
This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
this option is not specified.
=item B<-out> I<filename>
This specifies the output filename to write parameters to or standard output if
this option is not specified.
=item B<-text>
Prints out the parameters in plain text in addition to the encoded version.
=item B<-noout>
Do not output the encoded version of the parameters.
=item B<-engine> I<id>
Specifying an engine (by its unique I<id> string) will cause this command
to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
for all available algorithms.
=item B<-check>
This option checks the correctness of parameters.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
Print out text version of parameters:
openssl pkeyparam -in param.pem -text
=head1 NOTES
There are no B<-inform> or B<-outform> options for this command because only
PEM format is supported because the key type is determined by the PEM headers.
