Add some documentation for X509_gmtime_adj()
Other very similar functions were documented, but this one was missing. Reviewed-by: Hugo Landau <hlandau@openssl.org> Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tomas@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/18974) (cherry picked from commit 425e972dfaf867affb5b3d438d9ca67bb6aeed65)
