docs: Note "NTC 100k beta 3950" as not preferred

As pointed out in issue Klipper3d#4054, the "NTC 100k beta 3950" sensor
type is not as accurate as "EPCOS 100K B57560G104F" for most
NTC 100k B3950 thermistors. The generic name and inclusion
next to other sensor types with more specific names, implies
that it would be a good default option.

To guide users away from this option, this PR removes it from
the [extruder] section, and lists it at the end of the options in
the "Common thermistors" section with "not preferred" in
parenthesis next to it.
