[XRay][docs] Document xray_mode and log registration API.
This marks certain flags in XRay as deprecated (in particular, `xray_naive_log=` and `xray_fdr_log=`), and recommends the use of the `xray_mode=` flag. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@319763 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
