docs: clarify that ONE inbound SIP Trunk covers every Anveo DID
The step 4 heading said "once per DID" and the intro said steps 3-7 repeat per DID, both of which overstate the work. The body already noted the trunk could be reused, but the heading is what gets read first - and it actively misleads toward creating one trunk object per number. One inbound SIP Trunk serves the whole account: the $[E164]$ placeholder is substituted with each DID's own number at call time, and the Asterisk side matches whatever arrives via _X. and resolves it through pstn-personal-dids.conf. Same for the outbound Service Trunk in step 3, which the body already flagged as skippable for DIDs 2+. Rewrites the heading, adds an explicit up-front note on why one suffices, and corrects the intro to name which steps actually repeat per number.
