This fixes the "verifying the alias" case.
Actually, while working on it, I realized that conceptually we were
testing the 2 different behaviours of `EC_GROUP_check_named_curve()` at
the same time, and actually not in the proper way.
I think it's fair to assume that overwriting the curve name for an
existing group with `NID_undef` could lead to the unexpected behaviour
we were observing and working around.
Thus I decided to separate the lookup test in a dedicated simpler test
that does what the documentation of `EC_GROUP_check_named_curve()`
suggests: the lookup functionality is meant to find a name for a group
generated with explicit parameters.
In case an alternative alias is returned by the lookup instead of the
expected nid, to avoid doing comparisons between `EC_GROUP`s with
different `EC_METHOD`s, the workaround is to retrieve the `ECPARAMETERS`
of the "alias group" and create a new explicit parameters group to use
in `EC_GROUP_cmp()`.

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
