Fix SSIMLoss docstring examples: remove redundant 1- prefix

[haoyu-haoyu]

Fixes #8822.

Description

`SSIMLoss.forward()` already returns `1 - ssim_value` (see `monai/losses/ssim_loss.py` line 127):

```python
ssim_value = self.ssim_metric._compute_tensor(input, target).view(-1, 1)
loss: torch.Tensor = 1 - ssim_value
```

…yet the three docstring examples call `print(1-SSIMLoss(...)(x,y))`, which computes `1 - (1 - ssim) = ssim` — the structural similarity value, not the loss. A user copying the example would build a "loss" that increases as images grow more similar and train in the wrong direction.

Removing the `1-` prefix in the three `print(...)` calls makes the examples print the actual loss, consistent with the `Returns` docstring that already says "1 minus the ssim index (recall this is meant to be a loss function)".

Verified locally:

```

SSIMLoss(spatial_dims=2)(x, x) # identical inputs
tensor(0.) # correct loss behavior
```

Before the fix the docstring would have printed `1.0` (the similarity), after the fix it prints `0.0` (the loss).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR corrects three docstring examples in SSIMLoss.forward(). Previously, examples showed print(1-SSIMLoss(...)(x,y)), but since the loss function already computes 1 - ssim_value internally, this would negate the result to the similarity value instead of the loss. The fix removes the redundant 1- prefix from examples for 2D, pseudo-3D, and 3D cases.
