adapter: Improve documentation for gst_adapter_available()

Browse source 
When I first read the documentation of gst_adapter_available() and
gst_adapter_available_fast() I got quite confused as it seemed that
both performed the same purpose but one was slower than the other.

I shared it with other people and found they also arrived at the same
wrong conclusion.

Hopefully this patch will make the actual purpose clearer.
