doc: tls API for direct TLS socket use

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/sam-github/tls-conn-tests into master

Direct use of tls.TLSSocket to start a TLS session over an existing TCP connection was documented.

However, to use this connection securely it is necessary to validate and authenticate the peer's certificate, and the documented events and properties are implemented only for TLSSockets returned by tls.connect(). In order to create secure connections, additional undocumented APIs must be used, and these APIs are being called right now by npm modules.
