ipa: ipu3: Rename IspStatsRegion to Accumulator

The IspStatsRegion structure was introduced as an attempt to prepare for
a generic AWB algorithm structure. The structure name by itself is not
explicit and it is too optimistic to try and make a generic one for now.

Its role is to accumulate the pixels in a given zone. Rename it to
accumulator, and remove the uncounted field at the same time. It is
always possible to know how many pixels are not relevant for the
algorithm by calculating total-counted. The uncounted field was only
declared and not used. Amend the documentation accordingly.
