Recently we added `ecid`, `wafer-id` and `wafer-location` properties
under xscom node. Lets document these properties. Also update VPD
documentation.

+----
+Electronic Chip ID (ECID) is a process by which the wafer number, chip location
+(i.e. X,Y) and other optional data items are electrically encoded directly on
+the chip. wafer-id property represents wafer number and wafer-location property
+represents chip location (both X and Y location).
