One of the challenges to contributing to the display code is the
complexity of the DC component. This commit adds a documentation page
that discusses the programming model used by DCN and an overview of how
the display code is organized.

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.
