man: Document HSv3 client authorization revocation

Browse Source 
Removing a ".auth" file revokes a client access to the service but the
rendezvous circuit is not closed service side because the service simply
doesn't know which circuit is for which client.

This commit notes in the man page that to fully revoke a client access to the
service, the tor process should be restarted.

Closes #28275

@ -2961,6 +2961,10 @@ Note that once you've configured client authorization, anyone else with the
address won't be able to access it from this point on. If no authorization is
configured, the service will be accessible to anyone with the onion address.
Revoking a client can be done by removing their ".auth" file, however the
revocation will be in effect only after the tor process gets restarted even if
a SIGHUP takes place.
