molex-ont: fix dead EasyEDA link and add prebuilt (no-soldering) option
The "Example of the final board" EasyEDA/OSHWLab link is offline; repoint it to
the Web Archive snapshot so the reference still works. Also add a short
"Prebuilt board (no soldering)" note for readers who would rather not solder an
SMD Molex connector, with a hot-linked photo (no binary added to the repo).

In some sticks, such as those based on Lantiq chipsets, the serial interface is exposed in the upper pins of the ONT, in order to read them there are two possibilities:

- the use of an SFP molex ([farnell](https://it.farnell.com/en-IT/molex/74441-0001/connector-sfp-rcpt-20pos-smt/dp/2112385)) to which four wires are to be soldered and the other pins removed. This makes the adapter compatible with a single serial combination.

- the use of a board to which the SFP molex is soldered, exposing the main SFP pins.

- a ready-made breakout board that already exposes all 20 SFP pins on 2.54 mm headers, if you'd rather not solder an SMD Molex connector yourself (see below).

If you'd rather not solder an SMD Molex connector, a prebuilt and tested board is also available. It exposes all 20 SFP pins on 2.54 mm headers with RX/TX silkscreen, so you slot the module in and connect your USB-TTL adapter — no soldering required.
