Add documentation for the DRM_WEDGE_RECOVERY_COLD_RESET recovery
method introduced for handling critical errors. This method is
designated for severe errors that compromise core device functionality
and are unrecoverable via recovery mechanisms such as driver reload or PCIe
bus reset. The documentation clarifies when this recovery method should be
used and its implications for userspace applications.

+Cold Reset Recovery
+-------------------
+
+The ``WEDGED=cold-reset`` event indicates that the device has encountered
+a critical errors that affecting core functionality that cannot be
+resolved through recovery mechanisms.
+
+This recovery method is reserved for critical error conditions where the
+device state cannot be restored via:
+
+- Driver unbind/rebind operations
+- PCIe bus reset and re-enumeration
+- Device Function Level Reset (FLR)
+- Warm device resets
+
+Such critical errors state typically persists across all software-based
+recovery attempts. Only a complete device power cycle can restore
+normal operation.
+
+Upon receiving a ``WEDGED=cold-reset`` event, userspace should initiate
+a full cold reset of the affected device to restore functionality.
