update: Add criteria to VPN Services page and update other sections (#2788)

Browse source 
Updates include:
- Obfuscation info, ProtonVPN IPv6 and added missing download links
- added a few criteria

Testing:
- Proton has IPv6 support on Linux but it didn't work for me
- Requirements for FDE/ram servers make sense to prevent logging by malicious employees.
- Mullvad/IVPN are ram-only while Proton has FDE.
- Requirements for the jurisdiction is to prevent cases like RiseupVPN (https://riseup.net/en/about-us/press/canary-statement).

**Firmware updates** are critical for maintaining security and without them your device cannot be secure. OEMs have support agreements with their partners to provide the closed-source components for a limited support period. These are detailed in the monthly [Android Security Bulletins](https://source.android.com/security/bulletin).
As the components of the phone, such as the processor and radio technologies rely on closed-source components, the updates must be provided by the respective manufacturers. Therefore, it is important that you purchase a device within an active support cycle. [Qualcomm](https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2020/12/qualcomm-and-google-announce-collaboration-extend-android-os-support-and) and [Samsung](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-galaxy-security-extending-updates-knox) support their devices for 4 years, while cheaper products often have shorter support cycles. With the introduction of the [Pixel 6](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705), Google now makes their own SoC, and they will provide a minimum of 5 years of support. With the introduction of the Pixel 8 series, Google increased that support window to 7 years.

EOL devices which are no longer supported by the SoC manufacturer cannot receive firmware updates from OEM vendors or after market Android distributors. This means that security issues with those devices will remain unfixed.
