User programs can now ask user_events to handle the synchronization of
multiple different formats for an event with the same name via the new
USER_EVENT_REG_MULTI_FORMAT flag.
Add a section for USER_EVENT_REG_MULTI_FORMAT that explains the intended
purpose and caveats of using it. Explain how deletion works in these
cases and how to use /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events for per-version
deletion.

Users need to know how to make events persist now that we allow for
that. We also now allow the dynamic_events file to create events by
utilizing the persist flag during event register.
Add back in to documentation how /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events can
be used to create persistent user_events. Add a section under registering
for the currently supported flags (USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST) and the
required permissions. Add a note under deleting that deleting a
persistent event also requires sufficient permission.

Now user_events auto-cleanup upon the last reference by default. This
makes it not possible to use the dynamics event file via tracefs.
Document that auto-cleanup is enabled by default and remove the refernce
to /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events file to make this clear.

The ABI for user_events has changed from mmap() based to remote writes.
Update the documentation to reflect these changes, add new section for
unregistering events since lifetime is now tied to tasks instead of
files.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

Update the documentation to reflect the new ABI requirements and how to
use the byte index with the mask properly to check event status.

Add a documentation file about user_events with example code, etc.
explaining how it may be used.
