<!-- Add a description of the new feature/bug fix. Reference any relevant bugs. -->

* lib: clarify docs for gnutls_credentials_set

Make it explicit that only a single credentials object of a given
type may be set against a session. Any further attempts to set
credentials for a type will replace previously set crdentials.
The act of replacement also allows the previously set credentials
to be freed by the caller.
