doc: default number of outgoing ports without libevent #974

Description

I was just noticing these lines in the README:

unbound/doc/README

Lines 23 to 26 in 6c76b4e

implementation. libevent is useful when having many (thousands)
of outgoing ports. This improves randomization and spoof
resistance. For the default of 16 ports the builtin alternative
works well and is a little faster.

It seems like the statement that 16 ports cannot still be the default, so perhaps that part should be removed. It also makes me wonder: if the default (non-libevent) implementation is used with thousands of ports, how is the performance?

Edit: perhaps I misunderstand, and the number of ports mentioned is not the range of possibly selected ports, but how many ports can have be waiting on a response at any given time?
