Documentation: power: Add document on debugging shutdown hangs

If the kernel hangs while shutting down, ideally a UART log should
be captured to debug the problem.  However if one isn't available,
users can use the pstore functionality to retrieve logs.

Add a document explaining how this works to make it more accessible
to users.
