doc: public keys don't accept passphrases

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/bnoordhuis/undocument-passphrase-option into master

While crypto.publicDecrypt() and crypto.publicEncrypt() do accept a passphrase option, the C++ code simply ignores it because OpenSSL does not support it for public keys. Undocument the option.
