doc: clarify SSL_CIPHER_description allocation
Previously the documentation for `SSL_CIPHER_description` said:
> If buf is provided, it must be at least 128 bytes, otherwise a buffer
> will be allocated using OPENSSL_malloc().
In reality, `OPENSSL_malloc` is only invoked if the provided `buf`
argument is `NULL`. If the `buf` arg is not `NULL`, but smaller than
128 bytes, the function returns `NULL` without attempting to allocate
a new buffer for the description.
This commit adjusts the documentation to better describe the implemented
behaviour.
