Rework documentation of cbordump example
Focus the phrasing on what it teaches - how to use the stream reader -
more than the example application of that, displaying it.
Update docs:
* Changed name to conform to modern guidelines.
* Consistently mark \c cbodrump as code.
* Fix mentions of CborDumper and CborTagDescription to match code.
* Say how the tagDescriptions table is used.
Pick-to: 6.5
Task-number: QTBUG-111228
