[4/5] Docs/mm/damon: move monitoring target regions setup detail from the usage to the design document

Commit Message

Design doc is aimed to have all concept level details, while the usage
doc is focused on only how the features can be used.  Some details about
monitoring target regions construction is on the usage doc.  Move the
details about the monitoring target regions construction differences for
DAMON operations set from the usage to the design doc.

+In case of ``fvaddr`` or ``paddr`` monitoring operations sets, users are

 For such cases, users can explicitly set the initial monitoring target regions
 as they want, by writing proper values to the files under this directory.
