Add a practical example for `@GDScript.linear2db()`
One of its most common applications in games is for volume sliders. See https://www.dr-lex.be/info-stuff/volumecontrols.html for more information.

- Converts from linear energy to decibels (audio).
+ Converts from linear energy to decibels (audio). This can be used to implement volume sliders that behave as expected (since volume isn't linear). Example:
+ [codeblock]
+ # "Slider" refers to a node that inherits Range such as HSlider or VSlider.
+ # Its range must be configured to go from 0 to 1.
+ # Change the bus name if you'd like to change the volume of a specific bus only.
+ AudioServer.set_bus_volume_db(AudioServer.get_bus_index("Master"), linear2db($Slider.value))
+ [/codeblock]
