Documentation should not discuss flashing (proprietary) firmware for modem

Currently the "Mini-Tutorials" have a section on flashing modem firmware:

https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/developer.puri.sm/blob/f358d3afea8115411030947074c126909f5e619a/Boards/mini-tutorials.rst#L19

Firstly, we no longer use that Sierra Wireless modem. Second, providing instructions on how to flash proprietary firmware is a problem from the perspective of the FSF, both for the Librem 5's potential RYF certification and PureOS's listing as a GNU-FSDG satisfying distribution:

https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html#documentation

We should remove this section on the firmware flashing and remove mention of the MC7455 as this will just confuse people.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
