The claim that DC_SHA1 takes priority over other *_SHA1 knobs was true when it was added in [1], But that hasn't been the case since it was made the fallback default in [2].

We should be making it not only the default, but something that takes priority over other *_SHA1 knobs, but that's outside the scope of this change. For now let's correct the documentation to match reality.

Let's also remove the "unconditionally enable" wording, per the above the enabling of "DC_SHA1" is conditional on these other flags.

2. e6b07da2780 (Makefile: make DC_SHA1 the default, 2017-03-17)
