Fix: Correct ImageMagick PDF policy note in setup docs

Browse Source 
The note claimed that steps still relying on ImageMagick, such as TIFF to
PDF conversion, could fail without the PDF policy change. The remaining
convert calls only strip alpha from raster images, and the TIFF to PDF
step uses img2pdf, so the PDF coder policy no longer matters.

The passage now says Paperless-ngx no longer passes PDF documents to
ImageMagick, so enabling PDF processing is not required, while keeping the
policy hardening guidance in place.
