Richard Levitte 096978f099 OPENSSL_info(): add the item OPENSSL_INFO_SEED_SOURCE and use it
'openssl version -r' prints the seed source based on compiler macros.
This does not necessarily reflect the library's idea of what seed
sources to use, so we reimplement the list of seed sources as a
OPENSSL_info() item and display that instead.

=head1 NAME
openssl-info - print OpenSSL built-in information
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl info>
[B<-help>]
[B<-configdir> | B<-c>]
[B<-enginesdir> | B<-e>]
[B<-modulesdir> | B<-m>]
[B<-dsoext>]
[B<-dirfilesep>]
[B<-listsep]>
[B<-seeds]>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command is used to print out information about OpenSSL.
The information is written exactly as it is with no extra text, which
makes useful for scripts.
As a consequence, only one item may be chosen for each run of this
command.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print out a usage message.
=item B<-configdir>, B<-c>
Outputs the default directory for OpenSSL configuration files.
=item B<-enginesdir>, B<-e>
Outputs the default directory for OpenSSL engine modules.
=item B<-modulesdir>, B<-m>
Outputs the default directory for OpenSSL dynamically loadable modules
other than engine modules.
=item B<-dsoext>
Outputs the DSO extension OpenSSL uses.
=item B<-dirnamesep>
Outputs the separator character between a directory specification and
a file name.
Note that on some operating systems, this is not the same as the
separator between directory elements.
=item B<-listsep>
Outputs the OpenSSL list separator character.
This is typically used to construct C<$PATH> (C<%PATH%> on Windows)
style lists.
=item B<-seeds>
Outputs the randomness seed sources.

=head1 HISTORY
The B<openssl info> command was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
