Documentation/rtla: Add -A/--aligned option

Cover the newly added -A/--aligned option that aligns timerlat threads
using the corresponding feature of the timerlat tracer.

A note is added to clarify what alignment means, similar to the note in
the tracer implementation in commit 4245bf4dc58f ("tracing/osnoise: Add
option to align tlat threads").

+
+        The alignment will be applied when the threads wake up at the start of tracing while
+        the timer for the first cycle is armed. Each thread sets its timer to the wake-up time
+        of the previous thread plus the alignment.
+
+        This option may be used with any non-negative argument, including zero, which will
+        align threads so that they wake up all at the same time.
