Documentation/pktgen: Clearify how-to use pktgen samples
o Change process name in ps output: looks like, these days the process
is named kpktgend_<cpu>, rather than pktgen/<cpu>.
o Use pg_ctrl for start/stop as it can work well with pgset without
changes to $(PGDEV) variable.
o Clarify a bit needed $(PGDEV) definition for sample scripts and that
one needs to `source functions.sh`.
o Document how-to unset a behaviour flag, note about history expansion.
o Fix pgset spi parameter value.
