Fix documentation for crypto_pk_cmp_keys

Now that crypto_pk_cmp_keys might return the result of tor_memcmp, there
is no guarantee that it will only return -1, 0, or 1.  (It currently does
only return -1, 0, or 1, but that's a lucky accident due to details of the
current implementation of tor_memcmp and the particular input given to it.)

Fortunately, none of crypto_pk_cmp_keys's callers rely on this behaviour,
so changing its documentation is sufficient.
