Merge #19073: Remove outdated comment about DER encoding

4c825792dd9f4eaf4936c3e376ac7a5c177528e2 Remove outdated comment about DER encoding (Elichai Turkel)

Pull request description:

  This comment got me confused about the status of BIP66 (Thanks jnewbery for explaining)
  The comment was added in: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3843
  But in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/5713 strict DER encoding was enforced in consensus,
  and is now it's buried and enforced by the height of the block here: 4af01b37d4/src/validation.cpp (L1889)

  P.S. This is also quite confusing: 4af01b37d4/src/validation.cpp (L1560-L1563) But seems to be intentional: 4af01b37d4/src/validation.cpp (L1510-L1511)
