tools, bpftool: Minor fixes for documentation
Bring minor improvements to bpftool documentation. Fix or harmonise formatting, update map types (including in interactive help), improve description for "map create", fix a build warning due to a missing line after the double-colon for the "bpftool prog profile" example, complete/harmonise/sort the list of related bpftool man pages in footers. v2: - Remove (instead of changing) mark-up on "value" in bpftool-map.rst, when it does not refer to something passed on the command line. - Fix an additional typo ("hexadeximal") in the same file.
