Historically (i.e., OpenSSL 1.0.x), the openssl applications would
allow for empty subject attributes to be passed via the -subj argument,
e.g., `opensl req -subj '/CN=joe/O=/OU=local' ...`. Commit
db4c08f019 applied a badly needed rewrite
to the parse_name() helper function that parses these strings, but
in the process dropped a check that would skip attributes with no
associated value. As a result, such strings are now treated as
hard errors and the operation fails.
Restore the check to skip empty attribute values and restore
the historical behavior.
Document the behavior for empty subject attribute values in the
corresponding applications' manual pages.

This follows on from the previous commit, and makes the same change to
ignore the digest if we are using EdDSA.

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

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
