doc: added details around console.timeEnd changes

Since PR #29251 is merged into master, the implementation of `console.timeEnd` is not to print the milliseconds on the stdout but instead print a more readable time unit on the console. For example if the total time comes out to be 3456 milliseconds, it will be printed as 3.45 seconds so that it is much more readable and consistent.

 Starts a timer that can be used to compute the duration of an operation. Timers
 are identified by a unique `label`. Use the same `label` when calling
 [`console.timeEnd()`][] to stop the timer and output the elapsed time in
-milliseconds to `stdout`. Timer durations are accurate to the sub-millisecond.
