bfa470a4f6 Add 'openssl req' option to specify extension values on command line
The idea is to be able to add extension value lines directly on the
command line instead of through the config file, for example:

    openssl req -new -extension 'subjectAltName = DNS:dom.ain, DNS:oth.er' \
                     -extension 'certificatePolicies = 1.2.3.4'

Fixes #3311

Thank you Jacob Hoffman-Andrews for the inspiration

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
