Reword ProbHasRemnant text to avoid misinterpretation

The original text was, Additionally, the pipeline found there is (some level of evidence for or against) matter outside the final compact object.

This was problematic for two reasons. First, the pipeline (meaning the em_bright pipeline) was never introduced, so it gave the mistaken impression that the inference came from the detection pipeline. Second, without explaining that the inference relied only on the mass and spin parameters, it may have mislead the reader to think that our signal contained evidence for tidal or other matter effects.

The text now reads, Assuming this neutron star equation of state and the masses and spins inferred from the signal, there is (some level of evidence for or against) matter outside the final compact object.
