man1: make all openssl command line tool documentation generated.
With the introduction of provider command line options which are applicable to almost all of the command line tools, it seemed reasonable to make them all generated. This simplifes the .gitignore and avoids having to keep two lists in sync. Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/11167)

+=head1 NAME
+
+openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<openssl> B<nseq>
+[B<-help>]
+[B<-in> I<filename>]
+[B<-out> I<filename>]
+[B<-toseq>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
+sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
+file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
+sequence.
+
+A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that
+can be sometimes be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7
+format when several certificates are sent to the browser, for example during
+certificate enrollment. It was also used by Netscape certificate server.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-help>
+
+Print out a usage message.
+
+=item B<-in> I<filename>
+
+This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
+option is not specified.
+
+=item B<-out> I<filename>
+
+Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
+
+=item B<-toseq>
+
+Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
+is the certificates contained in it. With the B<-toseq> option the
+situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
+a file of certificates.
+

+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
+
+ openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
+
+Create a Netscape certificate sequence
+
+ openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
