Consistent formatting of flags with args
For documentation of all commands with "-flag arg" format them consistently: "B<-flag> I<arg>", except when arg is literal (for example "B<-inform> B<PEM>|B<DER>") Update find-doc-nits to complain if badly formatted strings are found.

Normally the I<type> argument is supplied by a function which returns a
pointer to a BIO_METHOD. There is a naming convention for such functions:
-a source/sink BIO is normally called B<BIO_s_I<*>>() and a filter BIO
-B<BIO_f_I<*>>();
+a source/sink BIO typically starts with I<BIO_s_> and
+a filter BIO with I<BIO_f_>.
