doc: Reword unexplained abbreviation
The previous wording used MVF to indicate the Most Common Values' Frequencies, but the abbreviation was never explained or defined. Reword to mcv_freqs to make the use clearer. Also add MCF and MCV as acronyms as they were using <acronym> markup but were missing from the acronyms page.
