f3021aca4a Allow the ca application to use EdDSA
Using the ca application to sign certificates with EdDSA failed because it
is not possible to set the digest to "null". This adds the capability and
updates the documentation accordingly.

Fixes #6201

5af88441f4 Allow multiple entries without a Subject even if unique_subject == yes
It is quite likely for there to be multiple certificates with empty
subjects, which are still distinct because of subjectAltName. Therefore
we allow multiple certificates with an empty Subject even if
unique_subject is set to yes.

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
