OpenSSL default security level changed to 2 in Node.js 24.5 but docs still say it's 1 #59715

Description of the problem
Although the OpenSSL documentation does not mention it, the default security level was changed in OpenSSL 3.2 from 1 to 2; see openssl/openssl@b3a33da. This change was included in Node.js 24.5, but the Node.js "OpenSSL security levels" documentation was not updated.
This was an undocumented breaking change for me, though that's my responsibility for using the Current version. It should be clearly documented if the LTS version is upgraded to OpenSSL 3.5, though, or that version be forced to stay at security level 1.
