doc: Clarify passphrase command reloading on Windows

When running on Windows (or EXEC_BACKEND) the SSL configuration will
be reloaded on each backend start, so the passphrase command will be
reloaded along with it.  This implies that passphrase command reload
must be enabled on Windows for connections to work at all.  Document
this since it wasn't mentioned explicitly, and will there add markup
for parameter value to match the rest of the docs.

Backpatch to all supported versions.
