undergroundwires 89243371fa win: improve and document removing Phone apps #279
This commit improves Windows scripts related to phone apps, extending
documentation, renaming scripts for clarity, removing unnecessary
scripts and adjusting recommendation levels.

Changes:

- Add script to disable the 'Call' system app, identified as missing in
  issue #279.
- Update documentation for each phone-related app to include
  descriptions and cautionary advice, focusing on privacy and
  system performance benefits.
- Rename scripts for better alignment with actual app names and to
  correct misconceptions:
  - 'Communications - Phone' to 'Microsoft Phone'
  - 'Your Phone Companion' to 'Your Phone'
- Remove the script for deleting `Microsoft.Windows.Phone` package,
  correcting a community misreport.
- Adjust recommendations to remove Phone-related apps, considering their
  limited necessity for OS functionality and common software use.
