At some point the asn1parse applet was changed to default the inform to
PEM, and defalt input file to stdin. Doing so broke the -genstr|conf options,
in that, before we attempt to generate an ASN1 block from the provided
genstr string, we attempt to read a PEM input from stdin. As a result,
this command:
openssl asn1parse -genstr OID:1.2.3.4
hangs because we are attempting a blocking read on stdin, waiting for
data that never arrives
Fix it by giving priority to genstr|genconf, such that, if set, will just run
do_generate on that string and exit
