thermal: core: Update thermal zone registration documentation

The thermal sysfs API document is outdated.  One of the problems with
it is that is still documents thermal_zone_device_register() which
does not exit any more and it does not reflect the current thermal
zone operations definition.

Replace the thermal_zone_device_register() description in it with
a thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() description, including
an update of the thermal zone operations list.

.get_mode:
get the current mode (enabled/disabled) of the thermal zone.
- "enabled" means the kernel thermal management is
enabled.
- "disabled" will prevent kernel thermal driver action
upon trip points so that user applications can take
charge of thermal management.
.set_mode:
set the mode (enabled/disabled) of the thermal zone.
.get_trip_type:
get the type of certain trip point.
.get_trip_temp:
get the temperature above which the certain trip point
will be fired.
.change_mode:
change the mode (enabled/disabled) of the thermal zone.
.set_trip_temp:
set the temperature of a given trip point.
.get_crit_temp:
get the critical temperature for this thermal zone.
.set_emul_temp:
set the emulation temperature which helps in debugging
different threshold temperature points.
