[PATCH V6 2/6] doc: ti: k3: Add TIFS Stub documentation

* Add documentation to briefly explain the role of TIFS Stub in relevant
  K3 SoC's.
* Shed light on why TIFS Stub isn't package with the DM firmware itself.
* Modify the platform docs wherever the TIFS Stub documentation applies.
* Also, refactor and add a few new labels to help split the firmware
  documentation chunks. This will make it easier to include them one by
  one wherever applicable

+  context and resume the TIFS firmware when resuming from Low Power Modes
+  like Suspend-to-RAM/ Deep Sleep. It is loaded into the ATCM (Tightly
+  Coupled Memory 'A' of the DM R5) during DM startup. The reason it isn't
+  merged with DM is because in HS devices we need to sign the tifs-stub with
+  customer key. The DM cannot have a component signed using a customer key
+  because a HS device customer owns the customer key and only customer
+  has the access for the customer key. Since TIFS Stub signing has to happen
+  from the customer side but the DM is released by TI or built by customer
+  optionally using publicly available sources, we need to allow binman to
+  sign the TIFS Stub and only then package it alongside other firmwares.
