doc: fix (EC)DHE remark in TLS docs
It is not true that all TLS 1.3 cipher suites use ECDH. TLS 1.3 allows DH over finite fields instead of elliptic curves. Also, the key exchange mechanism is independent of the cipher suite in TLS 1.3. PR-URL: #46114 Reviewed-By: Ben Noordhuis <info@bnoordhuis.nl> Reviewed-By: Luigi Pinca <luigipinca@gmail.com>
