docs: histogram.txt: convert it to ReST file format
Despite being mentioned at Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst as a
rst file, this file was still a text one, with several issues.
Convert it to ReST and add it to the trace index:
- Mark the document title as such;
- Identify and indent the literal blocks;
- Use the proper markups for table.
