Note INTRODUCE1 auth is *not* implemented

amjoseph requested to merge amjoseph/torspec:pr/introduce1-auth-not-implemented into main

Note: INTRODUCE1 messages are now known by the more accurate term "restricted discovery", although the torspec has not yet been updated.

Commit 1045d807 "rend-spec-v3: Note that there is no support for INTRO_AUTH right now." noted that authenticated INTRODUCE1 messages are not supported (and unlikely to be supported in the manner described).

However protocol-overview.md asserts that "(NOTE: client authorization is implemented as of 0.3.5.1-alpha.)" right after giving an overview of the INTRODUCE1 authentication mechanism. I found this extremely confusing when learning how the rendezvous protocol works. This commit moves the assertion into the bullet point to which it applies, and adds a parallel NOTE to the other bullet point, referencing the text added by 1045d807.
