add back LTE-only to the usage guide

This is ported over from the legacy documentation, but mention that
VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling does not yet work for all carriers and omit the
part about Nexus phones.

<p>If you have a reliable LTE connection from your carrier, you can reduce attack
surface by disabling 2G / 3G connectivity in Settings ➔ Network &amp; Internet ➔ Mobile
network ➔ Preferred network type. Traditional voice calls will only work in the LTE-only
mode if you have either an LTE connection and VoLTE (Voice over LTE) support or a Wi-Fi
connection and VoWi-Fi (Voice over Wi-Fi) support. Currently, VoLTE / VoWi-Fi works on
GrapheneOS but not on most carriers, since the configuration and extra apps for them on
most carriers are not yet around.</p>
<p>This feature is not intended to improve the confidentiality of traditional calls and
texts, but it might somewhat raise the bar for some forms of interception. It's not a
substitute for end-to-end encrypted calls / texts or even transport layer encryption.
LTE does provide basic network authentication / encryption, but it's for the network
itself. The intention of the LTE-only feature is only hardening against remote
exploitation by disabling an enormous amount of legacy code.</p>
