The option for ClamAV 'Block Encrypted Archives and Documents', actually
triggers a Heuristic match from ClamAV, which is used by PMG to rais the
spam score of a message by the value of 'Heuristic Score' configured
at the 'Spam Detector' settings.
Since this has caused confusion (also for myself) a few times already, this
patch tries to address the issue by referring to the other option in the API
description of both properties

We could additionally consider renaming the GUI presentation of
'archiveblockencrypted' to 'Alert Encrypted Archives and Documents' in line
with ClamAVs recent change and deprecation of 'ArchiveBlockEncrypted'.
