288481aabd77b90876489e39403b6eab9d4ae74d doc: clarify that testnet min-difficulty is not optional (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  When 20 minutes have gone by on testnet3 or testnet4, the next block `MUST` have difficulty 1. I've seen people be confused about this several times now in recent months. It doesn't help that the code comment is wrong. So fixing that.

  The reason is that `nBits` must match exactly:
