doc: remove passing --disable-external-signer in OpenBSD build guide

Browse source 
Since the Boost.Process usage check was added to the build system
(commit abc057c603), passing the option
`--disable-external-signer` explicitly is not needed anymore on OpenBSD;
The configure script will automatically detect that including
<boost/process.hpp> leads to a compile error and disable external signer
support accordingly.

### 1. Configuration
Note that building with external signer support currently fails on OpenBSD,
hence you have to explicitly disable it by passing the parameter
`--disable-external-signer` to the configure script. The feature requires the
header-only library boost::process, which is available on OpenBSD, but contains
certain system calls and preprocessor defines like `waitid()` and `WEXITED` that
are not available.
Note that external signer support is currently not available on OpenBSD, since
the used header-only library Boost.Process fails to compile (certain system
calls and preprocessor defines like `waitid()` and `WEXITED` are missing).

This enables the GUI and descriptor wallet support, assuming `sqlite` and `qt5` are installed.
```bash
./configure --disable-external-signer MAKE=gmake
./configure MAKE=gmake

##### Descriptor & Legacy Wallet. No GUI:
This enables support for both wallet types and disables the GUI:

./configure --disable-external-signer --with-gui=no \
