Document what remote "raw format" is (#2773)

* Document what remote "raw format" is

Add a note explaining that raw format is pulse widths (in microseconds) with sign indicating mark or space. This understanding is based on RemoteReceiverComponent::decode_rmt_, RemoteReceiverComponentStore::gpio_intr and RawDumper::dump.

* Update remote_receiver.rst

* Update remote_receiver.rst

The dumped **raw** code is sequence of pulse widths (durations in microseconds), positive for on-pulses (mark)
and negative for off-pulses (space). Usually you can to copy this directly to the configuration or automation to be used later.

In version 2021.12, the order of transferring bits was corrected from MSB to LSB in accordance with the NEC standard.
Therefore, if the configuration file has come from an earlier version of ESPhome, it is necessary to reverse the order of the address and command bits when moving to 2021.12 or above.
For example, address: 0x84ED, command: 0x13EC becomes 0xB721 and 0x37C8 respectively.
