[SPARK-25261][MINOR][DOC] update the description for 
spark.executor|driver.memory in configuration.md

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

As described in 
[SPARK-25261](https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SPARK/issues/SPARK-25261),the
 unit of spark.executor.memory and spark.driver.memory is parsed as bytes in 
some cases if no unit specified, while in 
https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/configuration.html#application-properties, 
they are descibed as MiB, which may lead to some misunderstandings.

## How was this patch tested?

N/A

Closes #22252 from ivoson/branch-correct-configuration.
