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

- 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
