avutil/hwcontext: Clarify documentation of AVHWFramesContext.hwctx

Correct the names of the format-specific headers (not hwframe_*.h)
and clarify that the user shall ignore this field if there is no
public context associated with it.
In particular, this allows to use this field for the private context
alone if there is no public context. This can't break conforming
API users, because they always have to live with the possibility
that a new public context has been introduced.
