Add documentation for Foxconn RU in ORAN_FHI7.2_Tutorial.md

- This addition is based on past tests, iperf3 UDP throughput was 520Mbps DL and 40Mbps UL.
- Throughput degrades when using OAI L1 with tags beyond `2024.w30`.
- This RU is being CI tested only in the Aerial pipeline, not with OAI L1.
- The document will be updated once the issue is identified and fixed.

### Foxconn RPQN RU
**Version v3.1.15q.551_rc10**
The OAI configuration file [`gnb.sa.band78.273prb.fhi72.4X4-foxconn.conf`](../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/gnb.sa.band78.273prb.fhi72.4X4-foxconn.conf) corresponds to:
- TDD pattern `DDDSU`, 2.5ms
- Bandwidth 100MHz
- MTU 8000
#### RU configuration
After switching on or rebooting the RU, the `/home/root/test/init_rrh_config_enable_cuplane` script should be run.
The RU configuration file is located in `/home/root/test/RRHconfig_xran.xml`. The required modifications:
1. `RRH_DST_MAC_ADDR`
2. `RRH_SRC_MAC_ADDR`
3. `RRH_EAXC_ID_TYPE1`
4. `RRH_EAXC_ID_TYPE3`
5. `RRH_CMPR_HDR_PRESENT` -> `0`
6. `RRH_C_PLANE_VLAN_TAG`
7. `RRH_U_PLANE_VLAN_TAG`
8. `RRH_LO_FREQUENCY_KHZ` -> `3750000, 0`
9. `RRH_DISABLE_USING_CAL_TABLES` -> `YES`
10. `RRH_TX_ATTENUATION` -> must be larger than 10dB
11. `RRH_RX_ATTENUATION` -> must be lower than 30dB
RU must be rebooted so the changes apply.
**Note**
- The RU was tested with the `2024.w30` tag of OAI.
- The measured throughput was **520 Mbps DL** and **40 Mbps UL**.
- With newer OAI versions, throughput degrades. This issue is currently under investigation.
