Update description of default EmonCMS sensor names (#3708)

Revises the section on default names to match the changes I'm proposing
to use the feed names defined in EmonCMS if available.

## {% linkable_title Default naming scheme %}
The names of the sensors created by this component, will be a combination of static text, `id` from the config and `feedid` from the Emoncms feed, unless `sensor_names` is used. An example name would be `emoncms1_feedid_10`.
The names of the sensors created by this component will use the feed names defined in EmonCMS if available,
or the feed ID otherwise, and will be prefixed with "EmonCMS", e.g. "EmonCMS Total Power" or "EmonCMS Feed 5".
If the `id` property is anything but `1`, the ID will be shown as well, e.g. "EmonCMS 2 Feed 5".
If `sensor_names` is used, any feeds with defined names will get those names exactly, with no prefix.
