[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] docs: update uci's wireless reconfiguration text

"wifi detect" has been replaced by "wifi config". It no longer
needs the file redirection to /etc/config/wireless.

It also removes the half sentence about rebuilding the
configuration when installing a new device. I think it is
bad advice to nuke the entire existing configuration just
to add a new wifi device.
