gtlsclientconnection: use-ssl3 is now ignored

For many years after SSL 3.0 support was removed, we used this function
to indicate that we should perform protocol version fallback to the
lowest-supported protocol version, to workaround protocol version
intolerance. Nowadays this is no longer needed, and support has been
removed from glib-networking, so update the documentation.
