fix: correct Foreign-Flagged Nodes caveat — long relay chains are real, not a GPS artifact

The prior caveat claimed a foreign_advert flag arriving via a healthy
multi-hop local relay chain was "almost always" a wrong/joke GPS
value on an otherwise-local node. That assumed LoRa mesh range tops
out in the tens of km, but this deployment's own node population
(checked earlier this session) spans a dense, continuous mesh across
much of Northern/Western Europe — a FLOOD packet can legitimately
hop node-to-node across hundreds of km through a sufficiently dense
chain, no MQTT bridging or propagation anomaly required. Reworded to
state the traceable-relay-chain case as genuine foreign traffic
reaching the mesh, not data-quality noise.
