doc: PQinitOpenSSL and PQinitSSL are obsolete in OpenSSL 1.1.0+

Starting with OpenSSL 1.1.0 there is no need to call PQinitOpenSSL
or PQinitSSL to avoid duplicate initialization of OpenSSL.  Add a
note to the documentation to explain this.

Backpatch to all supported versions as older OpenSSL versions are
equally likely to be used for all branches.
