Add tool explanations #4

The guide currently explains the data source and simulation limitations. However, it does not explain the tools/views available and how data is displayed. Ideally, at the end of the guide there should be one page for each view explaining the details, how it presents data, and what it should be used for.

Here is some content pulled from the main safety guide that did not really belong there:

                "turns": {
                    "title": "Turns included.",
                    "content": "The ranges on the map are worst-case estimates and assume that you are facing away from the target location. We do calculate <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubins_path\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the mathematically proven shortest path</a> given the aircrafts turn radius at your selected bank angle. So if you are actually facing towards the target location, there is a bit of headroom included. However, note that this applies <code>ONLY</code> to range circles displayed on the map!"
                },

Closed by https://github.com/TilBlechschmidt/ELSA/commit/a15d79b5210db851dc94914f211eefdcaf43cf0d as the range tool is the only one currently outside of alpha 😆
