Documentation: Add rule about "east const" to CodingStyle.md

### Const placement
[](#east-const) Use "east const" style where `const` is written on the right side of the type being qualified. See [this article](https://mariusbancila.ro/blog/2018/11/23/join-the-east-const-revolution/) for more information about east const.
###### Right:
```cpp
Salt const& m_salt;
```
###### Wrong:
```cpp
const Salt& m_salt;
