[PATCH] CryptoPkg/OpensslLib: remove OpenSSL version number from OpenSSL-HOWTO.txt

[Laszlo Ersek]

Remove any concrete OpenSSL version numbers from "OpenSSL-HOWTO.txt". That
information is out of date and there's no reason for us to refresh it:

We now track stable OpenSSL releases via a git submodule. CryptoPkg
maintainers push such submodule updates to edk2 that identify the correct
stable releases of OpenSSL. "OpenSSL-HOWTO.txt" already provides
instructions to users for updating their local submodules.

[Long, Qin]

Yes, this was not refreshed at last upgrade. And I agree it's better to remove this statement.
