Rodrigo Siqueira 6c49df92fa Documentation/gpu: Add Multiplane Overlay doc
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].
