Subject: [PATCH v3 8/8] tracing/histogram: Document expression arithmetic and constants

Histogram expressions now support division, and multiplication in
addition to the already supported subtraction and addition operators.

Numeric constants can also be used in a hist trigger expressions
or assigned to a variable and used by refernce in an expression.
