rtla: Add Documentation

Adds the basis for rtla documentation. This patch also
includes the rtla(1) man page.

As suggested by Jonathan Corbet, we are placing these man
pages at Documentation/tools/rtla, using rst format. It
is not linked to the official documentation, though.

The Makefile is based on bpftool's Documentation one.

+SYNOPSIS
+========
+**rtla** *COMMAND* [*OPTIONS*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+The **rtla** is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims to
+analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of testing Linux
+as a black box, **rtla** leverages kernel tracing capabilities to provide
+precise information about the properties and root causes of unexpected
+results.
+
+COMMANDS
+========
+**osnoise**
+
+        Gives information about the operating system noise (osnoise).
+
+**timerlat**
+
+        Measures the IRQ and thread timer latency.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+**-h**, **--help**
+
+        Display the help text.
+
+For other options, see the man page for the corresponding command.
+
+SEE ALSO
+========
+**rtla-osnoise**\(1), **rtla-timerlat**\(1)
