docs: update ANONYMITY_NETWORKS

Removed version 2 onion addresses as they're deprecated from TOR and updated I2P/Tor Stream Used Twice section to reference tweets relevant to section.

Fixed grammatical errors and changed the wording within the Wallet RPC section to better explain the differences between a I2P hidden service and a TOR hidden service.
