docs: Identifying a Meter #153

I don't know how universally true this is, but I found that my particular meter was easy to identify once I noticed that the ID is printed just above the KWH display. I think this would be useful information to include in the Ethics section of the readme.

There are a bunch of meter photos available in fcc test reports, I'll compile some examples.

I'll add this may vary a lot by meter type, in my case (Dominion Energy analog meter) the ID on the front of the dial is wrong, the correct ID to look for is on a label affixed to the RF module under/behind the dial visible thru the bottom of the glass.
