Fix technical description.

  • The first commit contains jonnew's technical description of the onix-to-host data transfer process, unadulterated.
  • The second commit contains my edits. The message for this commit contains the list of all the edits I made.

- Add summary at start of section
- Add a third bullet point describing the condition where data is streamed to hardware buffer instead of host RAM.
- Move description of ONIX hardware buffer from beginning of section to the next mention of the hardware buffer.
- Add brief clauses to describe what kernel mode and user mode do in this context (I feel like readers could get lost here).
- Add qualification regarding the statement "it is physically impossible to achieve lower latencies than this" (line ~60)
- Add a few sentences to the last paragraph about the perils of a `ReadSize` value that is too large.
