Minor docu bug: descriptions are partially swapped for MAX_SOCKET_FAIL and MAX_OSSL_FAIL #3028

Description

@fi5er

The current docu text in dev3.3 reads:

  • MAX_SOCKET_FAIL: A number which tells testssl.sh how often a TCP socket connection may fail before the program gives up and terminates. The default is 2. You can increase it to a higher value if you frequently see a message like Fatal error: repeated openssl s_client connect problem, doesn't make sense to continue.
  • MAX_OSSL_FAIL: A number which tells testssl.sh how often an OpenSSL s_client connect may fail before the program gives up and terminates. The default is 2. You can increase it to a higher value if you frequently see a message like Fatal error: repeated TCP connect problems, giving up.

The switched texts are highlighted.
testssl.sh itself gives the correct messages, they are only switched in the documentation.

I would have opened a PR, but I'm a bit rusty in the GitHub workflow, and also not sure if the fix should maybe be backported to the released version.
