drm/i915: Add missing GSCCS documentation

Introduce the basic documentation about GSC CS.

This "GPU Basics" section is focused on explaining the hardware
rather than the driver/uapi, so let's make sure GSC is also
properly documented here.

v2: Fixes from Matt: typos and acronym.

Also sometimes called 'VEBOX' in hardware documentation.
- Compute Command Streamer (CCS). An engine that has access to the media and
GPGPU pipelines, but not the 3D pipeline.
- Graphics Security Controller (GSCCS). A dedicated engine for internal
communication with GSC controller on security related tasks like
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), Protected Xe Path (PXP),
and HuC firmware authentication.
The Intel GPU family is a family of integrated GPU's using Unified
Memory Access. For having the GPU "do work", user space will feed the
