Reword description of SXID_* tunable properties

Browse Source 
The SXID_* tunable properties only influence processes that are
AT_SECURE, so make that a bit more explicit in the documentation and
comment.

Revisiting the code after a few years I managed to confuse myself, so
I imagine there could be others who may have incorrectly assumed like
I did that the SXID_ERASE tunables are not inherited by children of
non-AT_SECURE processes.
