feat(ble): Allow disabling BLE BAS reporting
The battery reporting has been known to cause macOS computers to wakeup repeatedly. In some cases (e.g. display or custom lighting implementation) one might want to collect battery SOC without broadcasting over BLE

* Update docs/docs/config/battery.md

See the [battery level feature page](../features/battery.md) for more details on configuring a battery sensor.
See [Configuration Overview](index.md) for instructions on how to change these settings.
### Kconfig
Definition file: [zmk/app/Kconfig](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/blob/main/app/Kconfig)
| Config | Type | Description | Default |
| ------------------------------------ | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------- |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_BATTERY_REPORTING` | bool | Enables/disables all battery level detection/reporting | n |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_BATTERY_REPORT_INTERVAL` | int | Battery level report interval in seconds | 60 |
:::note Default setting
While `CONFIG_ZMK_BATTERY_REPORTING` is disabled by default it is implied by `CONFIG_ZMK_BLE`, thus any board with BLE enabled will have this automatically enabled unless explicitly overriden.
:::
:::note BLE reporting on MacOS
On macOS the BLE battery reporting packets can cause the computer to wakeup from sleep. To prevent this, the battery _reporting_ service can be disabled by setting `CONFIG_BT_BAS=n`. This setting is independent of battery _monitoring_, for instance the battery level can still be indicated on a display.

### Devicetree
Applies to: [`/chosen` node](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/dts/intro.html#aliases-and-chosen-nodes)
| Property | Type | Description |
| ------------- | ---- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `zmk,battery` | path | The node for the battery sensor driver to use |
## Battery Voltage Divider Sensor
Driver for reading the voltage of a battery using an ADC connected to a voltage divider.
### Devicetree
Applies to: `compatible = "zmk,battery-voltage-divider"`
See [Zephyr's voltage divider documentation](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/build/dts/api/bindings/adc/voltage-divider.html).
## nRF VDDH Battery Sensor
Driver for reading the voltage of a battery using a Nordic nRF52's VDDH pin. This driver has no configuration except for the required `label` property.
### Devicetree
Applies to: `compatible = "zmk,battery-nrf-vddh"`
Definition file: [zmk/app/module/dts/bindings/sensor/zmk,battery-nrf-vddh.yaml](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/blob/main/app/module/dts/bindings/sensor/zmk%2Cbattery-nrf-vddh.yaml)
| Property | Type | Description |
| -------- | ------ | ------------------------- |
| `label` | string | Unique label for the node |
