[scikit-learn] Typo in online documentation on Matrix Factorization

I think the documentation is correct. U, a.k.a. "the code" or "the
activations" has shape (n_samples, n_components) and V a.k.a. "the
dictionary" or "the components" has shape (n_components, n_features) in
both case.

We could use n_components uniformly instead of n_atoms for consistency's
sake (and just make sure that the "components" is a synonym for "dictionary
atoms" in the literature).

I think V_k is fine because the dimension with size n_components is the
first dimension of V.
