docs: add USB optical drive passthrough note

Recommend passing optical drives by port rather than vendor/device ID
due to re-enumeration during disc spin-up. Include lsusb -t discovery
and /dev/sr0 note for MakeMKV/HandBrake in VM 101.

**USB optical drives:**
Pass a USB optical drive to VM 101 (Desktop) for ripping with MakeMKV or
HandBrake. Use **Method B (by port)** rather than by vendor/device ID — some
optical drives briefly re-enumerate when a disc spins up, which can cause the
device to drop and reconnect if bound by ID.
```bash
# Find the port your drive is on:
lsusb -t
# Then pass it to VM 101:
qm set 101 -usb1 host=<bus>-<port> # e.g. host=2-3
```
Inside VM 101 the drive appears as `/dev/sr0`. MakeMKV and HandBrake will
find it automatically.
