ref-manual: New VOLATILE_LOG_DIR variable description
Fixes [YOCTO #6132] No mention of how to make the target directory /var/log persistent. I added a note to the "post-install-logging" image feature that points to the new VOLATILE_LOG_DIR variable description, which I added to the glossary.

15562 By default, <filename>VOLATILE_LOG_DIR</filename> is set
15563 to "yes", which means the file is not persistent.
15564 You can override this setting by setting the
15565 variable to "no" to make the log directory persistent.
