docs: Replace all PolarSSL references to mbed TLS
There were references in our documentation to the now deprecated PolarSSL
library, which have changed name upstream to mbed TLS.

In addition, where appropriate, the documentation now considers only
mbed TLS 2.0 and newer.  This is in accordance with the requirements
./configure sets.

[DS: On-the-fly change - Updated Makefile.am to use README.mbedtls
     instead of README.polarssl. This ensures make dist and buildbots
     won't explode]
