LOG: docs: Add documentation for LLVM_ENABLE_LIBEDIT CMake flag (#147112)

This adds missing documentation for the LLVM_ENABLE_LIBEDIT flag to the
CMake documentation page, addressing the issue that this flag was
undocumented despite being used in the build system.

The documentation explains:
- Purpose: Controls libedit support for command-line editing
- Supported values: ON, OFF, or auto-detection
- Default behavior: Auto-detection when not specified

Fixes: #146477

+**LLVM_ENABLE_LIBEDIT**:BOOL
+  Controls whether to enable libedit support for command-line editing and history
+  in LLVM tools. When ``ON``, forces libedit support to be enabled and will cause a
+  CMake configuration error if libedit cannot be found. When ``OFF``, disables
+  libedit support entirely. If not specified, LLVM will auto-detect libedit
+  availability. Defaults to auto-detection.
