gallium/docs: many updates to screen.rst
Put PIPE_BIND_ and PIPE_TEXTURE_GEOM_ prefixes on token names so
that they can be found with grep. This needs to be done in more places.
Corrected/improved a lot of information and grammer.
I don't know how to properly format everything - someone else can take
care of that.
