media: pixfmt: Add H264_SLICE_RAW format documentation

The H264_SLICE_RAW format introduced before is meant for stateless
decoders that will need the H264 parsed slice data without the start code.

Let's document it.

- H264 parsed slice data, without the start code and as
extracted from the H264 bitstream. This format is adapted for
stateless video decoders that implement an H264 pipeline
(using the :ref:`mem2mem` and :ref:`media-request-api`).
Metadata associated with the frame to decode are required to
be passed through the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_SPS``,
``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_PPS``,
``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_SCALING_MATRIX``,
``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_SLICE_PARAMS`` and
``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_DECODE_PARAMS`` controls. See the
:ref:`associated Codec Control IDs <v4l2-mpeg-h264>`. Exactly
one output and one capture buffer must be provided for use
with this pixel format. The output buffer must contain the
appropriate number of macroblocks to decode a full
corresponding frame to the matching capture buffer.
.. note::
This format is not yet part of the public kernel API and it
is expected to change.
