doc: Add acronyms for MITM and SNI
This adds MITM and SNI as acronyms, as the documentation already had them marked up with <acronym>. While on it, make sure to spell man-in-the-middle with dashes consistently, and add acronyms for those new terms where appropriate. Author: Daniel Gustafsson Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CE12DD5C-4BB3-4166-BC9A-39779568734C@yesql.se
