drm/doc: Update docs about device instance setup
->load is deprecated, bus functions are deprecated and everyone should use drm_dev_alloc&register. So update the .tmpl (and pull a bunch of the overview docs into the sourcecode to increase chances that it'll stay in sync in the future) and add notes to functions which are deprecated. I didn't bother to clean up and document the unload sequence similarly since that one is still a bit a mess: drm_dev_unregister does way too much, drm_unplug_dev does what _unregister should be doing but then has the complication of promising something it doesn't actually do (it doesn't unplug existing open fds for instance, only prevents new ones). Motivated since I don't want to hunt every new driver for usage of drm_platform_init any more ;-) v2: Reword the deprecation note for ->load a bit, using Laurent's suggestion as an example (but making the wording a bit stronger even). Fix spelling in commit message. v3: More spelling fixes from Laurent.
