Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: explain the format of damon_aggregate tracepoint

The example of the section for damon_aggregated tracepoint is not
explaining how the output looks like, and how it can be interpreted.
Add it.

+Each line of the perf script output represents each monitoring region.  The
+first five fields are as usual other tracepoint outputs.  The sixth field
+(``target_id=X``) shows the ide of the monitoring target of the region.  The
+seventh field (``nr_regions=X``) shows the total number of monitoring regions
+for the target.  The eighth field (``X-Y:``) shows the start (``X``) and end
+(``Y``) addresses of the region in bytes.  The ninth field (``X``) shows the
+``nr_accesses`` of the region (refer to
+:ref:`design <damon_design_region_based_sampling>` for more details of the
+counter).  Finally the tenth field (``X``) shows the ``age`` of the region
+(refer to :ref:`design <damon_design_age_tracking>` for more details of the
+counter).
