Document vactrol-type guidance for opto-sat R10 (matches existing R18 note) #3

@NeoRecasata

Description

@NeoRecasata

The schematic has a helpful comment next to the wet/dry mix vactrol (U6) documenting the LED current-limit resistor (R18) value for different vactrol types:

"VTL5C3 R18 = 47k. Silonex 325R3 R18 = 470R. Handmade Vactrol with 5mm led and LDR R18 = 47k"

There's no equivalent comment for R10 (the opto-sat vactrol U3's LED current limit). Builders using a different vactrol than the design assumed will have no guidance.

The current R10 = 330 Ω value doesn't match any of the documented vactrol types — likely the root of the amplitude issue (see #2).
