[DTrace-devel] [PATCH 15/20] doc: Clean up profile unit table

[eugene.loh at oracle.com]

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh at oracle.com>

There are two references to "Table 1" (which is not otherwise
identified), along with links to an undefined ID.  Rework these
references.

While we're at it, convert the table from HTML to Markdown and break up
some longer lines, improving readability and maintainability of the
Markdown source file.

 ## tick-*n* Probes
 
 The `tick-*n*` probes fire at fixed intervals, at a high interrupt level on only one CPU per interval.
 
-Unlike `profile-*n*` probes, which fire on every CPU, `tick-*n*` probes fire on only one CPU per interval and the CPU on which they fire can change over time. The units of *n* default to a frequency expressed as a rate of firing per second, but the value can also have an optional time suffix as shown in [Table 1](dtrace_providers_profile.md#dt_t1_prov), which specifies either a time interval or a frequency.

 The `tick-*n*` probes have several uses, such as providing some periodic output or taking a periodic action.
