In the DC driver, we have multiple acronyms that are not obvious most of 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 V2: - 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
