Added to Wireless section for hotspot/Bluetooth connections

Browse source 
- I added a new first step because I felt it wasn't obvious that the device should be first plugged *in order* begin using scrcpy wirelessly, especially to those who aren't very familiar with adb.

- scrcpy is possible over hotspot/Bluetooth. I thought to add that section for those who might not be sure if scrcpy in those situations could work at all.
--- Expanded third step so the reader knows that they have to be looking for the default gateway IP address and *not* for an IP address of a device host, and for letting even the inexperienced find that IP address.
- Added a small troubleshooting section since wireless might add some complexity, and to lessen incoming relevant issue posts.

The README might be more dense, but I thought it would help new users know they can use it via hotspot and Bluetooth, while giving them some guidance regardless of skill level.

_Scrcpy_ uses `adb` to communicate with the device, and `adb` can [connect] to a
device over TCP/IP:
1. Connect the device to the same Wi-Fi as your computer.
2. Get your device IP address (in Settings → About phone → Status).
3. Enable adb over TCP/IP on your device: `adb tcpip 5555`.
4. Unplug your device.
5. Connect to your device: `adb connect DEVICE_IP:5555` _(replace `DEVICE_IP`)_.
6. Run `scrcpy` as usual.
1. Plug the device into a USB port on your computer.
2. Connect the device to the same Wi-Fi as your computer.
3. Get your device IP address (in Settings → About phone → Status).
4. Enable adb over TCP/IP on your device: `adb tcpip 5555`.
5. Unplug your device.
6. Connect to your device: `adb connect DEVICE_IP:5555` _(replace `DEVICE_IP`)_.
7. Run `scrcpy` as usual.
_Scrcpy_ is also possible via hotspot or Bluetooth from the device:
1. Plug the device into a USB port on your computer.
2. Connect your computer to the device's hotspot or Bluetooth network.
3. Find the **default gateway** IP address of the network from your computer.
- Windows:
GUI: Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing
Center -> Change adapter settings -> Double-click wireless interface ->
Details button -> Locate field that says "Default Gateway"
Command Prompt: `ipconfig | findstr "Default Gateway"`
- macOS:
GUI: System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced button -> "Router" field
under "TCP/IP" tab
Command line: `netstat -r -n` (Look for the line with `UG` flags)
- Linux: `arp -a`, `ip route | grep default`, `route -n` (Look for the line
with `UG` flags)
4. Enable adb over TCP/IP on your device: `adb tcpip 5555`.
5. Unplug your device.
6. Connect to your device: `adb connect GATEWAY_IP:5555` _(replace
`GATEWAY_IP`)_.
7. Run `scrcpy` as usual.
If the connection randomly drops, run `scrcpy` to reconnect. If it says there
are no devices/emulators found, try running
`adb connect DEVICE/GATEWAY_IP:5555`, and then `scrcpy` as usual. If it still
says there are none found, try running `adb kill-server` and then those two
commands again.
