ACPI: property: graph: Fix graph documentation
Address a few issues in the ACPI _DSD properties graph documentation: - the extension for port nodes is a data extension (and not property extension), - clean up language in port hierarchical data extension definition, - add examples of port and endpoint packages, - port property value is the number of the "port" and not the number of the "port node", - remove word "individual" from endpoint data node description, it was redundant, - remove the extra "The" in the endpoint property description, - refer to hierarchical data extension keys and targets instead of first and second package list entries.

represents a connection to that interface.
