pinctrl: clean up pinconfig-generic documentation

Reword the section of pinctrl-bindings.txt that describes generic
properties that pinctrl bindings may use. The aim is to make the text
clearer, and more explicitly call out the responsibility of individual
bindings that use the generic properties to define which of the
properties are used, and how.

Generic pinconfig parameters can be used by defining a separate node containing
the applicable parameters (and optional values), like:
Many data items that are represented in a pin configuration node are common
and generic. Pin control bindings should use the properties defined below
where they are applicable; not all of these properties are relevant or useful
for all hardware or binding structures. Each individual binding document
should state which of these generic properties, if any, are used, and the
structure of the DT nodes that contain these properties.
pcfg_pull_up: pcfg_pull_up {
bias-pull-up;
drive-strength = <20>;
};
This node should then be referenced in the appropriate pinctrl node as a phandle
and parsed in the driver using the pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config function.
Supported configuration parameters are:
Supported generic properties are:
bias-disable - disable any pin bias
bias-high-impedance - high impedance mode ("third-state", "floating")

Arguments for parameters:
Some of the generic properties take arguments. For those that do, the
arguments are described below.
- bias-pull-up, -down and -pin-default take as optional argument on hardware
supporting it the pull strength in Ohm. bias-disable will disable the pull.
