BOM update

Information about used components (WSPR-beacon PCB 1.0 & WSPR-beacon PCB 2.0) has been changed. Added actual ordering data for SMA connectors (LCSC), toggle switch (LCSC) and FT37-43 ferrite ring (RF Microwawe).

Documentation changes

Added references to different PCB versions to the main README file of the project. Additional links to the resources used have been added.
