docs: ABI: sysfs-bus-event_source-devices: Document sysfs caps entry for PMU
Details is added about "caps" attribute group in the ABI documentation.
This is used to expose some of the PMU attributes in "caps"
directory under : /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<dev>/. The dev/caps
will contain information about features that platform specific PMU
supports.
