doc: add PerformanceObserver buffered document
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The option buffered is not about queueing the PerformanceEntrys with
an event loop task or not. The option buffered in the spec is about
filling the observer with the global PerformanceEntry buffer. The
current (and the spec) behavior is different with Node.js
version <= v16.0.0.
