annotate doc/Freerunner-Howto @ 631:597869e59805
config: introduced new CONFIG_MCSI_MODEM preprocessor symbol
All MCSI functionality was previously conditionalized on CONFIG_TARGET_FCMODEM
(even earlier it was CONFIG_TARGET_FCDEV3B), but having a dedicated
preprocessor symbol for this purpose (defined in targets/*.h as appropriate)
makes it much easier to support different modem targets with MCSI enabled.
