Fix ampersand function calls
Some functions were being called with the deprecated ampersand syntax. In Perl the & prefix operator indicates the expression is to be interpreted as a function, e.g. &foo means foo is a function and if foo was followed by a list then it means call the function foo. The list can be parenthesized or not, it could just be comma separated expressions. Calling functions with this syntax is a hold over from earlier versions of Perl, but modern Perl has much cleaner syntax where function calls look like they do in other languages, an identifier followed by parenthesis. This is the calling style used in most of the rest of the code. This patch just unifies the calling syntax so it's consistent and more readable. Also the patch cleans up the function definition, some of the functions had been defined with an empty formal parameter list, but that conflicts with function prototyping introduced in modern Perl, an empty formal parameter list states the function takes no arguments. It only worked previously because when the (deprecated) ampersand operator was applied to the identifier it defeated prototype checking. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/pki/trunk@1563 c9f7a03b-bd48-0410-a16d-cbbf54688b0b
