Doc: Fix misleading wording of CRL parameters

danielgustafsson · danielgustafsson · commit 386d97781d17 · 2021-12-03T14:15:50.000+01:00
ssl_crl_file and ssl_crl_dir are both used to for client certificate revocation, not server certificates. The description for the params could be easily misread to mean the opposite however, as evidenced by the bugreport leading to this fix. Similarly, expand sslcrl and and sslcrldir to explicitly mention server certificates. While there also mention sslcrldir where previously only sslcrl was discussed. Backpatch down to v10, with the CRL dir fixes down to 14 where they were introduced.
