Add 'Integration with IDEs' section.
For now, this section is mostly a reference to the documentation of
gen_compile_commands, also in doc/build, but it can be futurely used as
a guide for other IDE-friendly features.

+IDEs and text editors (e.g., VSCode, Emacs, Vim, Neovim) typically offer
+plugins to enhance the development experience, such as Clangd LSP. These
+plugins provide features like code navigation (i.e., jumping to definitions
+and declarations), code completion, and code formatting.
+
+U-Boot provides a script (i.e., scripts/gen_compile_commands.py) that
+generates a compilation database to be utilized by Clangd LSP for code
+navigation. For detailed usage instructions, please refer to the script's
+documentation: :ref:`gen-compile-commands-label`.
