[PATCH v2 0/6] A couple of fixes for the Trace2 documentation

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

While verifying a suggestion for a contributor before sending it, I noticed
that the Trace2 documentation contained an incorrect example. Looking
around, I found a couple other things I wanted to fix, so here are the
patches.

Note: This patch series is not intended to be perfectionist. I just want the
result to be good enough, and move on to more important things.

Changes since v1:

 * Added an Oxford comma (at least I think it is a stylistic one, not a
   required one, but then, all three people involved in the discussion are
   non-native speakers, so there).
 * Added a patch to use a consistent style for function names.
 * I now surround even more terms in backticks.
 * I spotted and fixed a missing full stop, too.

  trace2 docs: surround more terms in backticks
  trace2 docs: fix a JSON formatted example
  trace2 docs: clarify what `varargs` is all about
  trace2 docs: add missing full stop
