media: uapi: h264: clarify V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_SLICE format
Document that the slice headers must be included for the benefit of
decoders that parse them (partially) in hardware, and that the start
code is optional. Add a link to the ITU-T Rec. H.264 specification
section that describes the slice format.
