Documentation/rtla: Mention default priority 

RTLA allows the priority of workload threads to be set using the -P
option. This is covered in docs, but the default state for RTLA's own
user workload (implemented in timerlat_u.c) is not mentioned.

Add mention of the default user workload priority as well as a reference
to osnoise and timerlat tracers for kernel workload priority.

- *f:prio* - use SCHED_FIFO with *prio*;
- *d:runtime[us|ms|s]:period[us|ms|s]* - use SCHED_DEADLINE with *runtime* and *period* in nanoseconds.
If not set, tracer threads keep their default priority. For rtla user threads, it is set to SCHED_FIFO with priority 95. For kernel threads, see *osnoise* and *timerlat* tracer documentation for the running kernel version.
**-C**, **--cgroup**\[*=cgroup*]
Set a *cgroup* to the tracer's threads. If the **-C** option is passed without arguments, the tracer's thread will inherit **rtla**'s *cgroup*. Otherwise, the threads will be placed on the *cgroup* passed to the option.
