platform/surface: aggregator: Improve documentation and handling of message target and source IDs
The `tid_in` and `tid_out` fields of the serial hub protocol command struct (struct ssh_command) are actually source and target IDs, indicating the peer from which the message originated and the peer for which it is intended. Change the naming of those fields accordingly and improve the protocol documentation. Additionally, introduce an enum containing all currently known peers, i.e. targets and sources.

Furthermore, requests, responses, and events have an associated target ID
-(``TID``). This target ID is split into output (host to EC) and input (EC to
