apps/{ca,req,x509}.c: Improve diag and doc mostly on X.509 extensions, fix multiple...

This includes a general correction in the code (now using the X509V3_CTX_REPLACE flag)
and adding a prominent clarification in the documentation:

    If multiple entries are processed for the same extension name,
    later entries override earlier ones with the same name.

This is due to an RFC 5280 requirement - the intro of its section 4.2 says:

    A certificate MUST NOT include more than one instance of a particular extension.

 Several OpenSSL commands can add extensions to a certificate or
-certificate request based on the contents of a configuration file.

+The syntax of configuration files is described in L<config(5)>.
 The commands typically have an option to specify the name of the configuration
 file, and a section within that file; see the documentation of the
 individual command for details.

 If B<critical> is present then the extension will be marked as critical.
 
+If multiple entries are processed for the same extension name,
+later entries override earlier ones with the same name.

 The format of B<values> depends on the value of B<name>, many have a
 type-value pairing where the type and value are separated by a colon.
 There are four main types of extension:
