Rich Salz a047435774 Various RT doc fixes
RT1556: doc/crypto/threads.pod
RT2024: Missing pages mentioned in crypto.pod
RT2890: Wrong size in ERR_string_error description.
RT3461: Better description of PEM Encryption
        (Jeffrey Walton <noloader@gmail.com>)
        Also, fix up formatting and removed some code examples
        that encourage unsafe patterns, like unencrypted private
        keys (Rich Salz)
RT4240: Document some speed flags (Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com>)
RT4260: Fix return value doc for X509_REQ_sign and X509_sign
        (Laetitia Baudoin <lbaudoin@google.com>)

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-engine id>
specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<speed>
to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
for all available algorithms.
=item B<-elapsed>
Measure time in real time instead of CPU time. It can be useful when testing
speed of hardware engines.
=item B<-evp algo>
Use the specified cipher or message digest algorithm via the EVP interface.
=item B<-decrypt>
Time the decryption instead of encryption. Affects only the EVP testing.
=item B<[zero or more test algorithms]>
If any options are given, B<speed> tests those algorithms, otherwise all of
the above are tested.
