Added clarifying details to wiring part of docs for wiring regulator to coprocessor (#2293)

Browse Source 
## Description
Added specific details to the wiring section of the photonvision docs
for two wiring methods for connecting a power regulator to a
coprocessor. This aims to help prevent any possible misunderstandings of
how to wire a regulator to a coprocessor.

Merge checklist:
- [ ] Pull Request title is [short, imperative
summary](https://cbea.ms/git-commit/) of proposed changes
- [ ] The description documents the _what_ and _why_
- [ ] If this PR changes behavior or adds a feature, user documentation
is updated
- [ ] If this PR touches photon-serde, all messages have been
regenerated and hashes have not changed unexpectedly
- [ ] If this PR touches configuration, this is backwards compatible
with settings back to v2025.3.2
- [ ] If this PR touches pipeline settings or anything related to data
exchange, the frontend typing is updated
- [ ] If this PR addresses a bug, a regression test for it is added

## Coprocessor with regulator
1. **IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED** to use one of the recommended power regulators to prevent vision from cutting out from voltage drops while operating the robot. We recommend wiring the regulator directly to the power header pins or using a locking USB C cable. In any case we recommend hot gluing the connector.
1. **IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED** to use one of the recommended power regulators to prevent vision from cutting out from voltage drops while operating the robot. We recommend wiring the regulator directly to the power header pins using either of the two methods listed below or using a locking USB C cable.
* Method 1: Soldering to GPIO Header Pins
* Using 20 AWG or preferably 18 AWG wires, solder two wires from the regulator to the power header pins on the coprocessor and cover with heat-shrink tubing.
* Method 2: Using a Wire-to-Board Connector
* Using a wire-to-board connector with 20 AWG or preferably 18 AWG wires, connect two wires from the regulator to the power header pins on the coprocessor. To prevent the connector from becoming unseated, we recommend applying hot glue to the connector.
2. Run an ethernet cable from your coprocessor to your network switch / radio.
