docs: Add some notes about the CoglPixelFormat enums

The pixel format enums didn't explain what order in memory the
components should be so it was difficult to use them.

* Pixel formats used by COGL. * Pixel formats used by COGL. For the formats with a byte per
* component, the order of the components specify the order in
* increasing memory addresses. So for example
* %COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_888 would have the red component in the
* lowest address, green in the next address and blue after that
* regardless of the endinanness of the system.
*
* For the 16-bit formats the component order specifies the order
* within a 16-bit number from most significant bit to least
* significant. So for %COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_565, the red component
* would be in bits 11-15, the green component would be in 6-11 and
* the blue component would be in 1-5. Therefore the order in memory
* depends on the endianness of the system.
*
* When uploading a texture %COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ANY can be used as the
* internal format. Cogl will try to pick the best format to use
* internally and convert the texture data if necessary.
