Update SWD docs to make it clear what grid intensity is used when a data center is green #35

Related to https://github.com/thegreenwebfoundation/co2.js/issues/197

When using the perByteTrace or perVisitTrace functions for the Sustainable Web Design model in CO2.js, the user can adjust the grid intensity used when calculating data center emissions. This is captured in https://github.com/thegreenwebfoundation/developer-docs/blob/main/src/docs/co2js/tutorials/customise-website-carbon-calculations.md

However, if the user passes in a value of true for the green parameter the grid intensity used for the data center is set to 50g CO2e/kWh (as per the Sustainable Web Design model).

The purpose of this issue is so that we can ensure we clearly highlight this in the docs.
