docs/bpf: Add documentation for new instructions
Add documentation in instruction-set.rst for new instruction encoding and their corresponding operations. Also removed the question related to 'no BPF_SDIV' in bpf_design_QA.rst since we have BPF_SDIV insn now.

Q: Why there is no BPF_SDIV for signed divide operation?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A: Because it would be rarely used. llvm errors in such case and
