doc: added details around console.timeEnd changes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since PR nodejs#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.
suitable time units to `stdout`. For example, if the elapsed
time is 3869ms, `console.timeEnd()` displays "3.869s".
