[IMP] doc: How to add a print action on a report record
If you define a report using `<report>` it will implicitly add that
action to a Print menu in the model's views. If you use ``<record>`` to
do the same, that won't happen unless you also set `binding_model_id`.
In older versions that wasn't really an issue because people mainly used
`<report>`, but it was deprecated in 13.5, hence this update. And it
applies to versions older than 13.5 as well, I tested until 11.0.
