doc: remove statement about (EC)DHE performance
This statement is misleading in that it says "key generation is
expensive". ECDHE key generation (over the elliptic curves that are
commonly used for TLS) is insanely fast compared to most other types
of key generation.
This statement is irrelevant for TLS 1.3, which requires (EC)DHE.
Even if this statement is somewhat true for TLS 1.2, it does not
justify discouraging the use of (EC)DHE.
