Summary

This PR adds some information to both the bluetooth.BLE and network.WLAN classes' documentation indicating a potential issue that may arise with the ESP32 port if the
system clock frequency is set below the minimum operating system clock frequency of 80MHz.

This closes #18427.

Testing

Besides locking up a few boards by setting the frequency to either 20MHz or 40MHz before or after activating the WiFi/BLE interface, the documentation was built with make html to make sure the note block appeared correctly.

Generative AI

I did not use generative AI tools when creating this PR.
