doc: Remove links to further reading from pgcrypto docs
The pgcrypto docs contained a set of links for useful reading and
technical references. These sets of links were however not actively
curated and had stale content and dead links. Rather than investing
time into maintining these, this removes them altogether since there
are lots of resources online which are actively maintained.
Backpatch to all supported versions since these links have been in
the docs for a long time.
