Document possible access problems with custom IRONIC_VM_LOG_DIR path
Example local.conf from Ironic docs uses $HOME/ironic-bm-logs as VM log dir.
On some systems (e.g. Fedora) user's home is accessible only to the owner by
default which causes "permission denied" errors when starting VMs because
QEMU domains are running as non-root user ("qemu" in Fedora).
Extend the documentation with note about possible problems with custom
log directory set using IRONIC_VM_LOG_DIR.
