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.

\brief The Cbordump example demonstrates how to parse files in CBOR-format. \brief A demonstration of how to parse files in CBOR format.

CBOR diagnostic notation (which is similar to JSON), or it can have a files or standard input and dumps the decoded content to stdout in a
verbose output where each byte input is displayed with the encoding beside human-readable format. It can output in CBOR diagnostic notation (which is
