Camera: Update documentation for rolling shutter skew

Existing definition was inconsistent, so update it to be consistent
and match what implementations have actually done.

* <p>If the image sensor is operating in a binned or cropped mode due to the current output

* time, for example, since it is based on the full array even if a partial array is read
* out. Be sure to scale the number to cover the section of the sensor actually being used
* for the outputs you care about. So if your output covers N rows of the active array of
* height H, scale this value by N/H to get the total skew for that viewport.</p>

* exposure start, instead.</p>
