docs: drop uncommon spelled out GCM

Browse Source 
It does not help users if that is spelled out, and its not a common
use of GCM, and especially in the AES 256 context its clear what is
meant. The link to Wikipedia stays, so interested people can still
read up on it and others get a better overview due to the text being
more concise.
