media: cec-ioc-g-mode.rst: improve description of message, processing

The description of how messages are processed by the core was not
always very clear. Reword it to improve this.

In particular for the USER_CONTROL_* messages a critical bit was
missing in that the core also checks for the CEC_LOG_ADDRS_FL_ALLOW_RC_PASSTHRU
flag. This was confusing.

otherwise it will report the current features that were set with

- If :ref:`CEC_CAP_RC <CEC-CAP-RC>` is set, then generate a remote control key
press. This message is always passed on to userspace.
