net: remove misleading comment

The allowHalfOpen comment was added in commit 8a3befa ("net: Refactor
to use streams2") from 2012 but it wasn't true even then as far as I
can tell: Node.js simply always does a shutdown(2) first.

It is true that streams2 withholds the 'end' event when allowHalfOpen
is true but the comment is about a callback that hangs off the 'finish'
event that is emitted after calling `socket.end()`.
