docs: drop stale MESHBAY_PASSWORD from meshbay-node(1)
Found during review: the node authenticates to the hub with its own Ed25519 identity key, not a password (per meshbay-node-user.service's own comment) — MESHBAY_PASSWORD isn't read anywhere in the node's source. The man page and the system-wide meshbay-node.service unit both still claimed it was a real hub-login secret; fixing the man page here since that's this branch's concern, the stale service-file comment is a separate, pre-existing issue.
