Add `openssl` example for generating registration HMAC digest.

The MAC is the hex digest output of the HMAC-SHA1 algorithm, with the key being
the shared secret and the content being the nonce, user, password, either the
string "admin" or "notadmin", and optionally the user_type
each separated by NULs. For an example of generation in Python:
each separated by NULs.
Here is an easy way to generate the HMAC digest if you have Bash and OpenSSL:
```bash
# Update these values and then paste this code block into a bash terminal
nonce='thisisanonce'
username='pepper_roni'
password='pizza'
admin='admin'
secret='shared_secret'
printf '%s\0%s\0%s\0%s' "$nonce" "$username" "$password" "$admin" |
openssl sha1 -hmac "$secret" |
awk '{print $2}'
```
For an example of generation in Python:
```python
import hmac, hashlib

mac.update(user_type.encode('utf8'))
return mac.hexdigest()
