drm/doc: document recommended component helper usage

Now that component has docs it's worth spending a few words and
hyperlinks on recommended best practices in drm.

v2: Add another item that component shouldn't be preferred over
drm_bridge/panel and similar subsystems already providing specialized
support for specific components (Laurent). Also convert to bullet
list.
