Extend USB list port macOS command with more possible outputs (#773)
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only updates a user documentation page. It broadens the macOS command shown for finding a USB serial port from `ls /dev/cu.usbserial*` to `ls /dev/cu.usb*` so the instructions work for more device names. There is no code change and no security relevance.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal documentation improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
A single-line change in docs/getting-started/installing/from-pre-built-release.en.md widens the shell glob used in an example command for listing USB serial ports on macOS. The change is purely instructional and does not touch source code, build scripts, firmware flashing logic, or any security-sensitive behavior.
