Documentation/gpu: Add an explanation about the DCN pipeline

In the DCN code, we constantly talk about hardware pipeline, pipeline,
or even just pipes, which is a concept that is not obvious to everyone.
For this reason, this commit expands the DCN overview explanation by
adding a new section that describes what a pipeline is from the DCN
perspective.

Changes since V1:
- Rewrite the first paragraph that describes AMD hardware pipeline.
