2018-07-02docs: histogram.txt: convert it to ReST file formatMauro Carvalho Chehab
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.
