can: j1939: add tables for the CAN identifier and its fields

Use table markup to show the structure of the CAN identifier, PGN, PDU1, and
PDU2 formats. Also add introductory sentence.

The J1939 protocol uses the 29-bit CAN identifier with the following structure:
============ ============== ====================
29 bit CAN-ID
--------------------------------------------------
Bit positions within the CAN-ID
--------------------------------------------------
28 ... 26 25 ... 8 7 ... 0
============ ============== ====================
Priority PGN SA (Source Address)
============ ============== ====================
The PGN (Parameter Group Number) is a number to identify a packet. The PGN
is composed as follows:
1 bit : Reserved Bit
1 bit : Data Page
8 bits : PF (PDU Format)
8 bits : PS (PDU Specific)
============ ============== ================= =================
PGN
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bit positions within the CAN-ID
------------------------------------------------------------------
25 24 23 ... 16 15 ... 8
============ ============== ================= =================
R (Reserved) DP (Data Page) PF (PDU Format) PS (PDU Specific)
============ ============== ================= =================
In J1939-21 distinction is made between PDU1 format (where PF < 240) and PDU2
format (where PF >= 240). Furthermore, when using the PDU2 format, the PS-field
contains a so-called Group Extension, which is part of the PGN. When using PDU2
format, the Group Extension is set in the PS-field.
============== ========================
PDU1 Format (specific) (peer to peer)
----------------------------------------
Bit positions within the CAN-ID
----------------------------------------
23 ... 16 15 ... 8
============== ========================
00h ... EFh DA (Destination address)
============== ========================
============== ========================
PDU2 Format (global) (broadcast)
----------------------------------------
Bit positions within the CAN-ID
----------------------------------------
23 ... 16 15 ... 8
============== ========================
F0h ... FFh GE (Group Extenstion)
============== ========================
On the other hand, when using PDU1 format, the PS-field contains a so-called
Destination Address, which is _not_ part of the PGN. When communicating a PGN
from user space to kernel (or vice versa) and PDU2 format is used, the PS-field
