ffb46830e2 Add random serial# support.
Add -rand_serial to CA command and "serial_rand" config option.

Up RAND_BITS to 159, and comment why: now confirms to CABForum
guidelines (Ballot 164) as well as IETF RFC 5280 (PKIX).

a970b14f8d Fix typo in documents
I scanned all files in the doc folder with a spell checker (https://github.com/EWSoftware/VSSpellChecker).
This patch (hopefully) corrected all spell errors that it found.

3ee1eac27a Standardize apps use of -rand, etc.
Standardized the -rand flag and added a new one:
    -rand file...
            Always reads the specified files
    -writerand file
            Always writes to the file on exit

For apps that use a config file, the RANDFILE config parameter reads
the file at startup (to seed the RNG) and write to it on exit if
the -writerand flag isn't used.

Ensured that every app that took -rand also took -writerand, and
made sure all of that agreed with all the documentation.

Fix error reporting in write_file and -rand
