docs: Note the preferred function for getting the content scale of a window

Browse Source 
SDL_GetWindowDisplayScale() should be preferred over SDL_GetDisplayForWindow() + SDL_GetDisplayContentScale() for querying the per-window content scale, as the former provides a more accurate and current value for individual windows, as the per-window value can differ from the base display scale value, particularly on high-DPI and multi-monitor desktops.
