In past discussions Jiri explained snapshot ids are cross-region.
Explain this in the docs.

Currently users have to choose a free snapshot id before
calling DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW. This is potentially racy
and inconvenient.
Make the DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_SNAPSHOT_ID optional and try
to allocate id automatically. Send a message back to the
caller with the snapshot info.
Example use:
$ devlink region new netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy
netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy: snapshot 1
$ id=$(devlink -j region new netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy | \
jq '.[][][][]')
$ devlink region dump netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy snapshot $id
[...]
$ devlink region del netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy snapshot $id
v4:
- inline the notification code
v3:
- send the notification only once snapshot creation completed.
v2:
- don't wrap the line containing extack;
- add a few sentences to the docs.

The devlink-region.rst and ice-region.rst documentation files wrapped
some lines within shell code blocks due to being longer than 80 lines.
It was pointed out during review that wrapping these lines shouldn't be
done. Fix these two rST files and remove the line wrapping on these
shell command examples.

Implement support for the DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW command for creating
snapshots. This new command parallels the existing
DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_DEL.
In order for DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW to work for a region, the new
".snapshot" operation must be implemented in the region's ops structure.
The desired snapshot id must be provided. This helps avoid confusion on
the purpose of DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW, and keeps the API simpler.
The requested id will be inserted into the xarray tracking the number of
snapshots using each id. If this id is already used by another snapshot
on any region, an error will be returned.

The devlink trigger command does not exist. While rewriting the
documentation for devlink into the reStructuredText format,
documentation for the trigger command was accidentally merged in. This
occurred because the author was also working on a potential extension to
devlink regions which included this trigger command, and accidentally
squashed the documentation incorrectly.
Further review eventually settled on using the previously unused "new"
command instead of creating a new trigger command.
Fix this by removing mention of the trigger command from the
documentation.

Also document the regions created by the mlx4 driver. This is currently
the only in-tree driver that creates devlink region snapshots.
