docs/home: Add 5G WWAN modem reference
Notes from bench-testing the Quectel RM500U-EA on tower, bought to eventually replace stream's Virgin Media WAN. Like the switches and APs, the module is configured out-of-band and is not referenced by the flake. Records what it takes to connect at all: the module must be switched from its stock NCM composition to MBIM, since under NCM the PDP context activates but the cdc_ncm link never raises carrier; and the connect only succeeds with the network-expanded APN read off the default-attach bearer, as IPv4. Also flags the two consequences for stream: the SIM is CGNAT so it cannot carry the public lease stream's WAN currently publishes, and the bearer reports a /8 that would cover Tailscale's 100.64.0.0/10 if configured literally.
