CRTC USF email: note US DIDs available from Canadian carriers + point to guide

Address the obvious 'but I need US numbers' objection: several Canadian
wholesale carriers (Fibernetics, Iristel, VoIP.ms, Telnyx, Bandwidth, Twilio,
Frontier) provision US DIDs to CRTC-registered carriers, so they can keep
serving US customers from the Canadian entity. Adds a Canada-advantage bullet
and updates the guide block to call out both US + Canadian DIDs.
