gendsa: dsaparam: introduce -verbose option to enable output
Other commands like 'req' support -verbose, so why not gendsa and dsaparam? Part of a larger and more ambitious effort to add -verbose to all apps that might be used in scripts and need to otherwise run silently (well, without belching out anything that isn't a warning or error... which ties into a later scrub of using STDOUT were appropriate for informative messages instead of STDERR)... so that scripts also have the option of doing >/dev/null without losing anything critical.
