CH04::privkeys: drop note about human-generated randomness
...
This was probaby the case on some JS-based private key websites, or when
using something like GPG, but it's unlikely to be the case on any modern
production software.

On the elliptic curve, a line that goes through two different points
with the same `x` coordinates, but different `y` coordinates (they must
be `y` and `-y`) is not "tangent".

Because 'std::random_device' appears in xref vanity_miner_code as opposed to xref vanity_miner_run, it feels more appropriate to use the former in this note.

ch04: Fix mathematical terms
...
1. EC multiplication is a "one-way" function, not a "trapdoor" one.
There is no information that makes reverse function easy.
See:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_function
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function
2. The "discrete logarithm" is more usual term for the reverse operation
for EC multiplication.
