Subject: [PATCH] Change SD card recommendation (#9677)

* Change SD card recommendation

Change recommendation from Class 10 to A2. SD cards optimized for hosting applications have much better small I/O handling and a minimum IOPS performance. This makes a big difference to Home Assistant on Raspberry Pi.

* Updated product link
