Message:

Fix documentation of GnuTLSCacheTimeout

GnuTLSCacheTimeout has nothing to do with the lifetime of TLS session
tickets, but it is used for OCSP responses if they do not contain a
nextUpdate field.

This commit also includes some minor rephrasing of other parts of the
session cache documentation.
