doc: Add acronyms for MITM and SNI

Browse Source 
This adds MITM and SNI as acronyms, as the documentation already had
them marked up with <acronym>.

While on it, make sure to spell man-in-the-middle with dashes
consistently, and add acronyms for those new terms where appropriate.

The Server Name Indication can be used by SSL-aware proxies to route
connections without having to decrypt the SSL stream. (Note that this
requires a proxy that is aware of the PostgreSQL protocol handshake,
not just any SSL proxy.) However, SNI makes the destination host name
appear in cleartext in the network traffic, so it might be undesirable
in some cases.
