doc: Fix incorrect openssl option

Browse Source 
The openssl command for displaying the DN of a client certificate was
using --subject and not the single-dash option -subject. While recent
versions of openssl handles double dash options,  earlier does not so
fix by using just -subject  (which is per the openssl documentation).

Backpatch to v14 where this was introduced.

Care needs to be taken when using this option, especially when using
regular expression matching against the <literal>DN</literal>.
