Document pkcs12 -password behavior
apps/pkcs12.c accepts -password as an argument. The document author
almost certainly meant to write "-password, -passin".
However, that is not correct, either. Actually the code treats
-password as equivalent to -passin, EXCEPT when -export is also
specified, in which case -password as equivalent to -passout.
(cherry picked from commit 856c6dfb09d69fc82ada2611c6cd792dfc60e355)
