libtracefs: Split out iterator functions from man page
With preparation to add more APIs that deals with tracefs_iterate_raw_events(), split it out of the generic event man pages so that it can have its own set without going over the max of 9 APIs per man page.

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Trace iterator over raw events.
+
+The *tracefs_iterate_raw_events()* function will read the tracefs raw
+data buffers and call the specified _callback_ function for every event it
+encounters. Events are iterated in sorted order: oldest first. An initialized
+_tep_ handler is required (See *tracefs_local_events*(3)). If _instance_ is
+NULL, then the toplevel tracefs buffer is used, otherwise the buffer for
+the corresponding _instance_ is read. To filter only on a subset of CPUs,
+_cpus_ and _cpu_size_ may be set to only call _callback_ with events that
+occurred on the CPUs specified, otherwise if _cpus_ is NULL then the _callback_
+function will be called for all events, and _cpu_size_ is ignored. The
+_callback_ function will be called with the following parameters: A
+pointer to a struct tep_event that corresponds to the type of event the
+record is; The record representing the event; The CPU that the event
+occurred on; and a pointer to user specified _callback_context_. If the _callback_
+returns non-zero, the iteration stops.
+
+Use *tracefs_iterate_stop()* to force a executing *tracefs_iterate_raw_events()*
+to halt. This can be called from either a callback that is called by
+the iterator (even though a return of non-zero will stop it), or from another
+thread.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The *tracefs_iterate_raw_events()* function returns -1 in case of an error or
+0 otherwise.
