rtla: Add Documentation
Adds the basis for rtla documentation. This patch also
includes the rtla(1) man page.
As suggested by Jonathan Corbet, we are placing these man
pages at Documentation/tools/rtla, using rst format. It
is not linked to the official documentation, though.
The Makefile is based on bpftool's Documentation one.
