Fixes #59715
This pull request updates the Node.js TLS documentation to reflect the change in the default OpenSSL security level from 1 to 2, starting with Node.js 24.5 (OpenSSL 3.2+).
The documentation previously stated the default security level was 1.
The default is now 2, which enforces stricter cryptographic requirements.
