OpenSSL: Update KTLS documentation
KTLS support has been changed to be off by default, and configuration is via a single "option" rather two "modes". Documentation is updated accordingly. Reviewed by: jkim Obtained from: OpenSSL (6878f4300213cfd7d4f01e26a8b97f70344da100) MFC after: 5 days Sponsored by: Netflix Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D31441
