fix(modem): Fixed documentation and example on creating custom device

Updates docs and examples per recent changes:
* Modem example does no longer demonstrate how to overwrite an AT method
* PPPoS client example now contains much simpler custom module

 Creating a custom module is necessary if the application needs to use a specific device that is not supported
