Add note about ASK keyword to paper wallet doc (#19330) 

* Add note about ASK keyword to paper wallet doc

Per https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/issues/17325#issuecomment-844434585, this change adds a note to the paper wallet docs mentioning the use of the `ASK` keyword. 

Also specifes that the `solana-keygen pubkey prompt://` command returns a derived bip44 base address.

(I'm new to Solana development and this was a point of confusion for me, only resolved by finding this issue)

* Update docs/src/wallet-guide/paper-wallet.md
