Shibboleth.SSO vs SAML2.SSO in Relying-Party.xml

It's historical.  Shibboleth.SSO refers to the original Shibboleth
protocol, which had to be defined because SAML 1.1 didn't include any form
of AuthnRequest. SAML 2.0 is SAML 2.0, when the specification was
sufficient for the features that Shibboleth wanted to render.

I dunno how to put that explanation into that context or make the
configuration file any more clear since it's designed to be terse...
