media: docs-rst: Append HEVC specific term

Browse Source 
Describe the coding tree unit as replacement for the macroblock in the
HEVC codec. Highlight a key difference of the HEVC codec to predecessors
like AVC(H.264) to give a better overview of the differences between the
coding standards.

[hverkuil: replaced the 'corresponds to' symbol with the full text for clarity]
