[docs] [issue39616] SSLContext.check_hostname description is inaccurate wrt match_hostname

New submission from Ville Skyttä ville.skytta@iki.fi:

Doc says "Whether to match the peer cert’s hostname with match_hostname() in SSLSocket.do_handshake()." but match_hostname() is no longer used to do that in the first place, OpenSSL is used for that. check_hostname affects the OpenSSL usage, too.
