doc: nrf_modem: clean up the variants and feature page
* Clean up the page to use the concept of "modem firmware products". * The cellular variant of libmodem actually supports three different modem firmware products. * Added example of exceptions from the table. * Altered the existing note to become a footnote for the "AT" entry.

The Modem library comes in two *variants*, each with a specific feature set and support for the equivalent *modem firmware product*.
77

8-
The cellular variant of the Modem library supports the nRF91 Series cellular firmware.
9-
The DECT PHY variant of the Modem library supports the nRF91 Series DECT NR+ PHY firmware.

.. [#at-note] Although the Modem library AT interface is fully supported by both Modem library variants, the AT command set supported by the cellular and DECT NR+ modem firmware products is different.

.. note::
44-
Although the Modem library AT interface is fully supported by both Modem library variants, the AT command set supported by the cellular and DECT NR+ PHY firmware is different.
58+
The different APIs may have certain subsets of functionality that are only supported by certain modem firmware products and versions.
59+
For example, :ref:`nrf_sockets` is supported for all cellular firmware products (and Modem library variants), but the socket option ``NRF_SO_SEC_CIPHERSUITE_USED`` is not suported by mfw_nrf9160.
60+
Exceptions like this are documented with notes like the one below:
61+
62+
.. code-block:: c
63+
64+
/**
65+
* @note This is only supported by the following modem firmware products:
66+
* - mfw_nrf91x1
67+
* - mfw_nrf9151-ntn
