Since we have made `matrix` and `vector` to be different types in
v1.4.0, the documentation needs to be updated.

In practical terms, `ti.types.matrix` only would suffice your need for vector/matrix customization because Taichi treats vectors as a special kind of matrices, i.e., matrices with one column.

In fact, calling `ti.types.vector()` produces a matrix type of a single column:

```
vec3 = ti.types.vector(3, float) # Equivalent to vec3 = ti.types.matrix(3, 1, float)
```

Similarly, `ti.Vector()` simply converts the input into a matrix of a single column:

```python
v = ti.Vector([1, 1, 1]) # equivalent to v = ti.Matrix([[1], [1], [1]])
```
