After discussion in #1640
this commit adjusts the comment about the WH0290 particulate sensor,
mostly surrounding the nature of the field labeled PM10.

The measurement of the sensor serial port was done by @peteakalad, and
the determination of the pm2.5/pm10 conversion was done by @gdt.

Following consensus from #1640, change description to call it "estimated", as a compromise betwen calculated and alleged.

Fixed, I think - but I didn't understand until just now.

As discussed at length in merbanan#1460, the value transmitted as PM10 is not
actally PM10, but a value that is slightly more than PM2.5.
