Documentation: firmware-guide: gpio-properties: Clarify Explicit and Implicit
Clarify the Explicit and Implicit meanings in the table of Pull Bias. While at it, distinguish pull bias keywords used in ACPI by using bold font in the table of the respective terms.

Linux tries to use common sense here and derives the state from the bias
and polarity settings. The table below shows the expectations:
-========= ============= ==============
-Pull Bias Polarity Requested...
-========= ============= ==============
-Implicit x AS IS (assumed firmware configured for us)
-Explicit x (no _DSD) as Pull Bias (Up == High, Down == Low),
- assuming non-active (Polarity = !Pull Bias)
-Down Low as low, assuming active
-Down High as low, assuming non-active
-Up Low as high, assuming non-active
-Up High as high, assuming active

That said, for our above example the both GPIOs, since the bias setting
is explicit and _DSD is present, will be treated as active with a high
