man: Clarify IV_HWADDR

The IV_HWADDR description was only partially correct, as there are more
implementations using other values than the MAC address of the default
gateway.

The intention of this value is to provide a unique identifier of the
client and on some platforms this is not possible to retrieve other than
to generate this information.

The 64 bytes limitation is an arbitrary value, it is not enforced by
OpenVPN 2.x.  But it was considered a good idea to at least have some
reasonable upper limit of how long this string can be, at least for
those implementing support for this information.
