    docs/vtpm: fix auto-shutdown reference
    
    The automatic shutdown feature of the vTPM was removed because it
    interfered with pv-grub measurement support and was also not triggered
    if the guest did not use the vTPM. Virtual TPM domains will need to be
    shut down or destroyed on guest shutdown via a script or other user
    action.
    
    This also fixes an incorrect reference to the vTPM being PV-only.
