perf python: Improve perf script -l descriptions
Add module docstrings to counting.py, tracepoint.py, and twatch.py. This satisfies pylint's missing-module-docstring check and prepares these existing standalone scripts in tools/perf/python/ for the later commit in this series ("perf script: Support standalone scripts and remove embedded scripting"), which updates 'perf script -l' to scan tools/perf/python/ and display each script's module docstring: ``` $ perf script -l List of available scripts: ... counting Example for counting perf events. ... tracepoint Example showing how to enable a tracepoint and access its fields. twatch Example to show how to enable a software event and track context switches. ... ``` Assisted-by: Antigravity:gemini-3.1-pro Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
