doc: document Wi-Fi auto-shutdown workaround for TMOHS1 and CT2MHS01 (#951)

Both devices ship with a Wi-Fi Standby timer that turns off the AP
after ~10 minutes with no clients, blocking remote access to Rayhunter
until a power cycle. Previous attempt (this PR's earlier commits) added
a Rayhunter config toggle to flip gWlanAutoShutdown in WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini,
but the same setting is already exposed in each device's native admin UI
under Settings -> Sleep -> Wi-Fi Standby, so a code change is not needed.

Replace the config toggle with:
- Device-page walkthroughs with screenshots of each native UI setting
- FAQ entry for "can't reach the web UI after leaving it alone"
- Post-install hint from the tmobile/wingtech installers pointing at
  the docs and the setting location

If you want to use a non-Verizon SIM card you will probably need an unlocked device. But it's not clear which devices are locked nor how to unlock them, we welcome any experimentation and information regarding the use of unlocked devices. So far most verizon branded orbic devices we have encountered are actually unlocked.
### I can't reach my Rayhunter's web UI after leaving it alone for a while
Some hotspots (notably the T-Mobile TMOHS1 and Wingtech CT2MHS01) shut down their Wi-Fi access point after about 10 minutes with no connected clients to save battery. Rayhunter is still recording in the background, but you won't be able to reach the web UI until you power cycle the device or reconnect a client while Wi-Fi is still up.
To avoid this, set Wi-Fi Standby to "Always on" in the hotspot's native admin UI. See [TMOHS1](./tmobile-tmohs1.md#wi-fi-auto-shutdown) or [CT2MHS01](./wingtech-ct2mhs01.md#wi-fi-auto-shutdown) for step-by-step instructions.
### How do I re-enable USB tethering after installing Rayhunter?
If you have installed with `./installer orbic-usb`, you might find that USB
