[aprssig] Simplified New n-N for Users

Point 1 confuses me.  I thought with all the hoopla about replacing 
RELAY with WIDE1-1, that you would instead suggest:

1.  Use WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 for 2 hops, WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 for 3 hops and 
WIDE1-1,WIDE3-3 for 4 hops.  4 hops only suggested for those with 
asbestos underwear!
