Multiple plane overlay is a feature supported by AMD hardware, but it
has specific details that deserve proper documentation. This commit
introduces a documentation that describes some of the features,
limitations, and use cases for this feature. Part of this documentation
came from some discussion in the public upstream [1][2].

In the DC driver, we have multiple acronyms that are not obvious most of
the time; the same idea is valid for amdgpu. This commit introduces a DC
and amdgpu glossary in order to make it easier to navigate through our
driver.
Changes since V3:
- Yann: Add new acronyms to amdgpu glossary
- Daniel: Add link between dc and amdgpu glossary
Changes since V2:
- Add MMHUB
Changes since V1:
- Yann: Divide glossary based on driver context.
- Alex: Make terms more consistent and update CPLIB
- Add new acronyms to the glossary

Display core documentation is not well organized, and it is hard to find
information due to the lack of sections. This commit reorganizes the
documentation layout, and it is preparation work for future changes.
Changes since V1:
- Christian: Group amdgpu documentation together.
- Daniel: Drop redundant amdgpu prefix.
- Jani: Create index pages.
- Yann: Mirror display folder in the documentation.
