drm/doc: describe PATH format for DP MST

This is already uAPI, xserver parses it. It's useful to document
since user-space might want to lookup the parent connector.

Additionally, people (me included) have misunderstood the PATH
property for being stable across reboots, but since a KMS object
ID is baked in there that's not the case. So PATH shouldn't be
used as-is in config files and such.
