3372aeed2c dhparam: fix documentation
The default bitlength is now 2048. Also clarify that either the number
of bits or the generator must be present:

$ openssl dhparam -2
and
$ openssl dhparam 2048
generate parameters but
$ openssl dhparam
does not.

c76e5b08a1 Document pkcs12 -password behavior
apps/pkcs12.c accepts -password as an argument.  The document author
almost certainly meant to write "-password, -passin".

However, that is not correct, either.  Actually the code treats
-password as equivalent to -passin, EXCEPT when -export is also
specified, in which case -password as equivalent to -passout.
