Added information about OpenSSL 1.0.1j vulnerabilities' impact on OpenVPN

Background

On 15th Oct 2014 the OpenSSL project released 1.0.1j that fixed several security vulnerabilities of high severity or less. Official OpenVPN Windows installers bundle OpenSSL 1.0.1, which meant that the OpenVPN project had to make a new Windows installer release (I004/I604). On *NIX-based operating systems OpenSSL is typically dynamically linked to OpenVPN and the OS provider handles the OpenSSL upgrades.
