Add a description of the JIT interface in the perf symbol resolution
code. I reverse engineered the format from the source.

+perf supports a simple JIT interface to resolve symbols for dynamic code generated
+by a JIT.
+
+The JIT has to write a /tmp/perf-%d.map  (%d = pid of process) file
+
+This is a text file.
+
+Each line has the following format, fields separated with spaces.
+
+START SIZE symbolname
+
+START and SIZE are hex numbers without 0x
+symbolname is the rest of the line, so it could contain special characters.
+
+The ownership of the file has to match the process.
