perf.data documentation: Clarify HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY format
The perf.data file format documentation for HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY specifies the layout in a confusing manner that doesn't match the rest of the document. This patch attempts to describe things consistent with the rest of the file.

The format of data in MEM_TOPOLOGY is as follows:
- 0 - version | for future changes
- 8 - block_size_bytes | /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
- 16 - count | number of nodes

-For each node we store map of physical indexes:
-
