This commit adds a clarification for the ESPNow module's documentation
regarding its "config" method.

The original documentation for that method could be interpreted as having
all its configuration keys being able to be queried, but the "rate"
configuration key is actually write-only due to ESP-IDF's lack of a way to
retrieve that bit of information from the radio's configuration.  The
documentation changes highlight the fact that said configuration key is
actually write-only.
