🔎 PREVIEW 🔍

@voorloopnul suggested we add a warning/note about minimum SD card speeds, given some issues we've run into with people experiencing degraded performance when using old / low specification SD cards. From looking into the variety of available designations, this seems to represent some reasonable expectations:

SD card note preview

I have included it on the installation page, as that's where it's most likely to be seen by users who do not buy a system with BlueOS pre-installed.

I'm undecided on whether it's worth including a warning about low quality cards that lie about their specs, or if that's excessive / out of scope.

bluerobotics/BlueOS#2405 would also be valuable, as a conditional check (regardless of stated ratings, including for degradation over time), and for a potential warning directly in the software, but a warning in the docs is at least a start (and hopefully helps avoid some issues before they even happen).
