README: Mark oFono backend as not actively developed

The ofono section was a bit too prominent in the README considering that it's
not actively developed.

The section was moved to its own file.

### oFono
There is also an oFono backend, "ofono". This was the first backend
developed but has been superceded by the ModemManager backend so it
may suffer from a lack of attention.
The ofono backend depends on oFono Modem objects being present on
D-Bus. To run oFono with useful output:
sudo OFONO_AT_DEBUG=1 ofonod -n -d
The test programs within the [oFono source
tree](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ofono/ofono.git) are
useful to bring up a modem to a suitable state. For example:
cd $OFONO_SOURCE/test
./list-modems
./enable-modem /sim7100
./online-modem /sim7100
Then run Calls:
/usr/bin/gnome-calls -p ofono
#### Phonesim
One can also make use of the oFono modem simulator, phonesim (in the
ofono-phonesim package in Debian):
ofono-phonesim -p 12345 -gui /usr/local/share/phonesim/default.xml
then, ensuring /etc/ofono/phonesim.conf has appropriate contents like:
[phonesim]
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=12345
run oFono as above, then:
cd $OFONO_SOURCE/test
./enable-modem /phonesim
./online-modem /phonesim
And again run Calls.
This plugin is not in active development anymore, so your mileage may vary.
See [here](ofono.md) for more information.
