[ruby/openssl] [DOC] prefer "password" to "passphrase"

Let's consistently use the word "password". Although they are considered
synonymous, the mixed usage in the rdoc can cause confusion.

OpenSSL::KDF.scrypt is an exception. This is because RFC 7914 refers to
the input parameter as "passphrase".
