docs: remove warning about pruned nodes

This removes a warning in the documentation saying that pruned nodes are
not supported. This is no longer the case as [pruning is supported since
0.13](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5154). So instead it
now says pruning is supported and notes the version and implications of
pruning.

although they cause performance penalty and higher network usage.
**NOTE: WE DO NOT FULLY SUPPORT PRUNED OPERATING MODES FOR FULL NODES.** It's
possible to run a node in a pruned mode and have it serve lnd, however one must
take care to ensure that `lnd` has all blocks on disk since the birth of the
wallet, and the age of the earliest channels (which were created around March
2018).
