of: dynamic: add lifecycle docbook info to node creation functions
The existing docbook comments for the functions related to creating a devicetree node do not explain the reference count of a newly created node, how decrementing the reference count to zero will free the associated memory, and the caller's responsibility to call of_node_put() on the node. Explain what happens when the reference count is decremented to zero.
