From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Eliminate the mostly obsolete `Public API` sub-section from the `Trace2 API` section in the documentation. Strengthen the referral to `trace2.h`. Most of the technical information in this sub-section was moved to `trace2.h` in 6c51cb525d (trace2: move doc to trace2.h, 2019-11-17) to be adjacent to the function prototypes. The remaining text wasn't that useful by itself. Furthermore, the text would need a bit of overhaul to add routines that do not immediately generate a message, such as stopwatch timers. So it seemed simpler to just get rid of it.
