tracepoints: format documentation

Impact: documentation update

Properly format Documentation/tracepoints.txt - it was full of
overlong lines and other typographical problems.

 * Purpose of tracepoints
 
-A tracepoint placed in code provides a hook to call a function (probe) that you
-can provide at runtime. A tracepoint can be "on" (a probe is connected to it) or
-"off" (no probe is attached). When a tracepoint is "off" it has no effect,
-except for adding a tiny time penalty (checking a condition for a branch) and
-space penalty (adding a few bytes for the function call at the end of the
-instrumented function and adds a data structure in a separate section).  When a
-tracepoint is "on", the function you provide is called each time the tracepoint
-is executed, in the execution context of the caller. When the function provided
-ends its execution, it returns to the caller (continuing from the tracepoint
-site).

 You can put tracepoints at important locations in the code. They are
 lightweight hooks that can pass an arbitrary number of parameters,
