This PR updates the existing doc/userdoc.rst for the joint_state_broadcaster.

What’s included

  • Added a new "Published topics" section:
    • /joint_states: publishes movement-related interfaces (position, velocity, effort).
    • /dynamic_joint_states: publishes all available state interfaces per joint,
      including custom ones (e.g., temperature, voltage, torque sensor readings).
  • Added a YAML-style example payload for clarity.
  • Added a note about the use_local_topics parameter.

Why

  • The previous documentation only stated that both topics are published but did not
    explain their contents in detail.
  • This clarification makes the documentation consistent with demos and API expectations
    and answers common questions from new users.

Fixes #1716
