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.

(From yocto-docs rev: 5d2bdf49e569e44d02602501d72418f04dbe6e4a)

Specifies the persistence of the target's
<filename>/var/log</filename> directory, which is used to
house postinstall target log files.
</para>
<para>
By default, <filename>VOLATILE_LOG_DIR</filename> is set
to "yes", which means the file is not persistent.
You can override this setting by setting the
variable to "no" to make the log directory persistent.
