man1: make all openssl command line tool documentation generated. With the introduction of provider command line options which are applicable to almost all of the command line tools, it seemed reasonable to make them all generated. This simplifes the .gitignore and avoids having to keep two lists in sync. Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/11167)

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.

Command docs: replacables are in italics, options always start with a dash Quite a lot of replacables were still bold, and some options were mentioned without a beginning dash. Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/10065)

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.

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.
