tracing/histogram: Document expression arithmetic and constants

Browse Source 
Histogram expressions now support division, and multiplication in
addition to the already supported subtraction and addition operators.

Numeric constants can also be used in a hist trigger expressions
or assigned to a variable and used by refernce in an expression.

Expressions support the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division operators (+-*/).
Note that division by zero always returns -1.
Numeric constants can also be used directly in an expression::
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:timestamp_secs=common_timestamp/1000000 ...' >> event/trigger
or assigned to a variable and referenced in a subsequent expression::
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:us_per_sec=1000000 ...' >> event/trigger
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:timestamp_secs=common_timestamp/$us_per_sec ...' >> event/trigger
