Documentation: driver-api: pps: Update PPS generator documentation

PPS documentation has a generalized section for generators. Update the
section so any new generator documentation can be appended.

Sometimes one needs to be able not only to catch PPS signals but to produce
them also. For example, running a distributed simulation, which requires
computers' clock to be synchronized very tightly. One way to do this is to
invent some complicated hardware solutions but it may be neither necessary
nor affordable. The cheap way is to load a PPS generator on one of the
computers (master) and PPS clients on others (slaves), and use very simple
cables to deliver signals using parallel ports, for example.
