Correct documentation for PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC 

In OpenSSL 3.x, the documentation for PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC incorrectly states
that an iter value less than 1 is treated as a single iteration. Upon further
investigation in providers/implementations/kdfs/pbkdf2.c, it appears that
invalid iter values will result in failure and raise the
PROV_R_INVALID_ITERATION_COUNT error. This commit corrects the documentation
to accurately reflect the behavior in OpenSSL 3.x.

Closes openssl#22168

B<iter> is the iteration count and its value should be greater than or
equal to 1. RFC 2898 suggests an iteration count of at least 1000. Any
B<iter> less than 1 is treated as a single iteration.
B<iter> value less than 1 is invalid; such values will result in failure
and raise the PROV_R_INVALID_ITERATION_COUNT error.
B<digest> is the message digest function used in the derivation.
PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1() calls PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC() with EVP_sha1().
