samples: cellular: multi_service: Support Wi-Fi connectivity

Adds overlay to use Wi-Fi conn_mgr layer instead of LTE conn_mgr layer.
Also removes a couple remaining dependencies on the nrf9160 modem.

  * Renamed Cellular: nRF Cloud MQTT multi-service to Cellular: nRF Cloud multi-service.
- * Added documentation for using the :ref:`lib_nrf_cloud_alert` and :ref:`lib_nrf_cloud_log` libraries.
- * Changed the :file:`overlay_nrfcloud_logging.conf` file to enable JSON logs by default.
- * The :c:struct:`nrf_cloud_obj` structure and associated functions are now used to encode and decode nRF Cloud data.
- * Cleaned up and simplified connection logic.
- * Switched from using the :ref:`lte_lc_readme` library directly to using Zephyr's ``conn_mgr`` and the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_LTE_CONNECTIVITY` Kconfig option.
