troubleshooting.md: tweak subuid paragraph, encryption
Expand the bit about needing to allocate UIDs so that we don't appear to imply that adding a range of 10000 IDs to /etc/subuid will allow people to use UID 1000000, which isn't in the range that we'd map a range of that size to. TLS is an acronym, so capitalize when we're talking about the protocol. TLS verification is about encryption, not authentication. Signed-off-by: Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>
