[PATCH V2 1/2] docs: Allow generic virtio device types to contain device-id



For generic virtio devices, where we don't need to add compatible or
other special DT properties, the type field is set to "virtio,device".

But this misses the case where the user sets the type with a valid
virtio device id as well, like "virtio,device26" for file system device.

Update documentation to support that as well.
