[PATCH] docs: update VOLATILE_{LOG|TMP}_DIR

[Trevor Woerner <twoerner@gmail.com>]

A new mechanism was introduced to handle whether or not tmp and log are
tmpfs-based (i.e. in RAM) or persist as real directories in the root
filesystem. The variables VOLATILE_LOG_DIR and VOLATILE_TMP_DIR no longer
exist, and PERMS files are used instead.

-   :term:`VOLATILE_LOG_DIR`
-      Specifies the persistence of the target's ``/var/log`` directory,

-      By default, :term:`VOLATILE_LOG_DIR` is set to "yes", which means the
