Petr Tesarik faa7c7ebd8 docs: dma-api: clarify DMA addressing limitations ...

Move the description of DMA mask from the documentation of dma_map_single()
to Part Ic - DMA addressing limitations and improve the wording.

Explain when a mask setting function may fail, and do not repeat this
explanation for each individual function.

Clarify which device parameters are updated by each mask setting function.
