Fix minor inconsistency in description of cipher categories
A longer while back the section ~ "Testing standard ciphers" was renamed to "Testing cipher categories". However the internal help didn't reflect that. This fixes that, including an addtion to the documentation. Note: the help still lists "-s --std, --standard" as a cmd line switch.
