docs(solar): drop Attenuation Bucket chapter

Browse Source 
with ENF v2 and exposure windows, the attenuation buckets are nothing
extraordinary anymore that would justify a separate chapter. It's just
another configuration parameter during the risk calculation and
described as such.

@ -260,17 +259,6 @@ Each exposure window contains the following information:
- **day of the exposure** - this parameter is determined by ENF based on when the respective RPI was received. Note that even though precise timestamp information exists in ENF, only the day itself is exposed (i.e. YYYY-MM-DD).
- **multiple scan instances** - this parameter represents occurrences where the other device has been actively identified during the scanning process. A scan instance consists of "seconds since last scan", i.e. for how long the other device was identified, and attenuation information as a measure of distance between the devices.
### Attenuation Buckets
While in the first version of the Exposure Notification Framework, Apple and Google allowed to define multiple thresholds for the attenuation, this functionality can now be implemented within the application through the data from the exposure windows.
Currently, the application forms four attenuation ranges (sometimes also called "buckets"), which have a specific weight applied:
- Very far
- Far
- Medium
- Close
### Risk Calculation
The Exposure Windows form the foundation of the risk calculation in the app. The result is an easy-to-understand risk level that is displayed to the user: low risk (i.e. _green_) or high risk _red_. The details of the risk calculation, e.g. exposure windows or intermediate results, are not visible to the user. Further information regarding the individual exposure events (such as the matched Rolling Proximity Identifier, the Temporary Exposure Key or the exact time) remains within the secure storage of the framework and cannot be retrieved by the application.
