pwm: Document signal polarity convention

The PWM subsystem defines normal and inversed PWM signal polarity in an
unambiguous way. In addition to the documentation in the linux/pwm.h
header file, add a paragraph in Documentation/pwm.txt because people are
likely to look there for guidance.

+When implementing polarity support in a PWM driver, make sure to respect the
