Why:

Closes: Issue # TBD

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Adds to the documentation regarding enabling runner diagnostic logging for Github Actions. (link below)
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/monitor-workflows/enable-debug-logging#enabling-runner-diagnostic-logging

Clarifies that the secret or variable can be set at the organization-level for enabling runner and step debug logging. As in, you can set ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG to true at organization-level and it will work as expected. I'm not married to the wording by any means, but it should be explicit this works at both repo and org levels; the current wording makes it sounds like ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG must be set at repo-level

Check off the following:
