docs: Document adding USB logging to a standalone board

Browse source 
Currently this is only documented in the zephyr 3.0 upgrade blog. This explicitly documents it as well as when it doesn't need to be applied (i.e. when a mcu board is already in use)

## Adding USB logging to a board
Standard boards such as the nice!nano and Seeeduinoo XIAO family have logging already added, however if you are developing your own standalone board you may wish to add the ability to use USB logging in the future.
To add USB logging to a board you need to define the USB CDC ACM device that the serial output gets piped to as well as adding the console in the `chosen` node inside `<board>.dts`
Inside the USB device (`&usbd`), add the CDC ACM node:
```dts
&usbd {
status = "okay";
cdc_acm_uart: cdc_acm_uart {
compatible = "zephyr,cdc-acm-uart";
};
};
```
Then you can add the `zephyr,console` binding in the `chosen` node
```dts
/ {
chosen {
...
zephyr,console = &cdc_acm_uart;
};
...
};
```
