Fixes #13905

Improves the DDA algorithm docstring by adding:

  • explanation of how the algorithm works
  • its main disadvantage
  • comparison with Bresenham algorithm
  • reference link for further reading

Describe your change:

  • Add an algorithm?
  • Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
  • Add or change doctests? -- Note: Please avoid changing both code and tests in a single pull request.
  • [ yes ] Documentation change?
