Documentation/rtla: Include defaults for tracer options 



Commit 0122938a ("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.
