CIPHERS.md: Explain Schannel error SEC_E_ALGORITHM_MISMATCH
If the SSL backend is Schannel and the user specifies an Schannel CALG_ that is not supported by the protocol or the server then curl returns CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35) SEC_E_ALGORITHM_MISMATCH. Fixes https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3389 Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4106
