ACPI: update debug parameter documentation
Reformat acpi.debug_layer and acpi.debug_level documentation so it's
more readable, add some clues about how to figure out the mask bits that
enable a specific ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statement, and include some useful
examples.
Move the list of masks to Documentation/acpi/debug.txt (these are
copies of the authoritative values in acoutput.h and acpi_drivers.h).
