Doc: clarify source of jitter in USB1.1, and USB2.0

Even though the jitter due to USB1.1 may be 1ms,
NTP can reduce its effect significantly.  And
USB2.0 reduces this anyway.

 It is possible to grab the PPS from an USB to serial device. However,

 the USB stack. Users have reported clock instability around +-1ms when

 If your device doesn't report PPS, you can check that the feature is
 supported by its driver. Most of the time, you only need to add a call
