Description
Updated the methodology.md file to include a dedicated section for Tracking Modes. It clearly defines the differences between Machine Mode and Process Mode, explaining their scope and typical use cases.

#484 Closes #484
Motivation and Context
The current documentation was a bit unclear for new users regarding how CodeCarbon attributes power consumption. This change solves the confusion mentioned in issue #484 by providing a structured comparison, helping users choose the most accurate mode for their specific environment (dedicated hardware vs. shared clusters).
How Has This Been Tested?
I have verified the Markdown rendering in VS Code to ensure the formatting and links are correct. This is a documentation-only change.
