phaser: Improve documentation of DAC settings

Browse Source 
1. Clarify which features require additional configuration via the `dac`
   constructor argument.
2. Document when DAC settings apply immediatly/are staged.
3. Document how staged DAC settings may be applied
4. Calrify operation of `dac_sync`
