docs: note wifi is off (not modem-sleep) between syncs

Make explicit that the per-sync burst assumes a full radio de-init between
pushes, and that staying associated to skip handshakes loses on energy until
~150 syncs/hr — a regime a writing appliance never reaches.

**0.33 mAh per sync**, so `K ≈ 20 mAh·min/hr`. The vertical scale below moves
with the real measurement; the *shape* and the knee do not.
**One assumption is baked into that burst: the radio is fully off between
syncs**, not parked in modem-sleep. Holding the association awake to skip the
per-sync handshake costs ~1520 mAh/hr on the WROOM — more than a 1-min interval
and ~10× the 10-min default — and only pays back above ~150 syncs/hr (one sync
every ~24 s), which a writing appliance never reaches. So each sync legitimately
pays a full fresh `wake → associate → handshake` burst, and "off" everywhere
below means radio **de-init**, not beacon-listening. Tear the connection down
immediately after each push, too: with syncs ≥2 min apart a keep-alive window
saves nothing, and Typoena only ever *pushes* — there's no inbound traffic that
would justify staying reachable.
