What happened?

The existing configuration documentation for Electricity Maps is a little out of date:

1. Electricity Maps has deprecated the co2signal.com domain
2. Electricity Maps no longer has a free trial, but instead a free tier with no expiration

Therefore, we propose updating both the code and documentation:

1. In the code, remove the distinction in configuration between ElectricityMapsFree and ElectricityMaps since it appears to still refer to the co2signal.com domain
2. In the documentation, remove the distinction between ElectricityMapsFree and ElectricityMaps
3. Update the note in the documentation's "restriction" section since it is largely still valid; forecasts are still only available to paid API tokens

We can provide a PR to do this. (Note that I was unsure whether this could strictly be considered a documentation change since we'd actually update the config code).
