Documentation/rtla: Include defaults for tracer options
Commit 0122938a7ab4 ("rtla: Always set all tracer options") changed the behavior of RTLA to always set all osnoise and timerlat tracer options to default values taken from the tracers whenever an RTLA measurement is started. The change was done to make RTLA results consistent on subsequent runs of the same command. Include the default values for tracer options also in documentation where appropriate.
