doc: clarify CRYPTO_CUSTOM_ENGINE_NOT_SUPPORTED
The error is not necessarily due to a client certificate engine. For example, the `privateKeyEngine` option might just as well cause this error and is independent of the client certificate. Also mention that this is likely due to a compile-time option of OpenSSL itself and not due to any particular engine.

of OpenSSL being used.

An OpenSSL engine was requested (for example, through the `clientCertEngine` or
865+
`privateKeyEngine` TLS options) that is not supported by the version of OpenSSL
866+
being used, likely due to the compile-time flag `OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE`.
