doc: remove notice of dashes in V8 options
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Previously only V8 options supported both dashes in them (making them
equivalent), but now Node.js also supports both styles so the note can
be removed.

* References to constructor instances should use camelCase.
* References to methods should be used with parentheses: for example,
`socket.end()` instead of `socket.end`.
* To draw special attention to a note, adhere to the following guidelines:
* Make the "Note:" label italic, i.e. `*Note*:`.
* Use a capital letter after the "Note:" label.
* Preferably, make the note a new paragraph for better visual distinction.
* Function arguments or object properties should use the following format:
* ``` * `name` {type|type2} Optional description. **Default:** `value`. ```
