(cherry picked from commit 88398d2a35)
Additionally, remove an outdated paragraph mentioning the .rnd
file, which is obsolete in 1.1.1 since the RANDFILE entry was
removed from openssl.cnf in commit 1fd6afb571.
Also borrow some text from 'openssl(1)/Random State Options'
on master (commit a397aca435) to emphasize that it is not
necessary anymore to restore and save the RNG state using the
'-rand' and '-writerand' options.

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
