x86/mm/doc: Clean up the x86-64 virtual memory layout descriptions

In Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt, the description of the x86-64 virtual
memory layout has become a confusing hodgepodge of inconsistencies:

 - there's a hard to read mixture of 'TB' and 'bits' notation
 - the entries sometimes mention a size in the description and sometimes not
 - sometimes they list holes by address, sometimes only as an 'unused hole' line

So make it all a coherent, readable, well organized description.
