    Remove a stray FIXME, added in 840043f06e.
    
    Simon tells me he was pondering whether chacha20-poly1305 could be
    reworked to use the new facilities, but on reflection there's no way to
    use it to improve matters.

    docs: Stop recommending DH gex over fixed groups.
    
    With the new larger fixed-group methods, it's less clearly always the
    right answer. (Really it seems more sensible to use ECDH over any of
    the integer DH, these days.)
    
    Also, reword other kex descriptions a bit.
