Clarify documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile

This commit fixes #1992: The documentation of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile
previously stated that the bitfield `allowed_pks` defined which signature
algorithms shall be allowed in CRT chains. In actual fact, however,
the field also applies to guard the public key of the end entity
certificate.

This commit changes the documentation to state that `allowed_pks`
applies to the public keys of all CRTs in the provided chain.
