The spelling of 'aborted' was 'aboeted' in the manual. This commit fixes
it.

The libffado library can listen to isochronous channels to which unit on
IEEE 1394 bus transfers packets as long as the unit allows software to
read the channel from its register.
This commit corrects description about snoop mode.

At present, axfer losts backward compatibility to aplay in a point of
'chmap' option.
This commit filfills a section to describe lose of backward compatibility
of chmap option.

Two unit tests are available to check internal implementation of axfer.
They perform file I/O for many times and take much time to finish.
This commit adds a section about it.

Timer-based scheduling model has some merits against IRQ-based
scheduling model. However, as of Linux kernel v4.21, ALSA PCM interface
between kernel/userspace has a lack of some features.
This commit adds a subsection to describe it.

This commit fulfills a subsection titled as 'Timer-based scheduling model'.
This scheduling model is introduced in a recent decade. In this model,
applications should take care of its timing to operate sampled data
according to any timer. This is an optional behaviour of runtime of
PCM substream.

This commit adds a section titled as 'SCHEDULING MODEL' and fulfill a
subsection titled as 'IRQ-based scheduling model'.
This scheduling model is for a typical applications to operate a kind of
data sampled against actual time. In this model, ALSA PCM core maintains
timing of the applications with notification of hardware by
blocking/waking up their processes. This is a default behaviour of
runtime of PCM substream.

At present, some options for software parameters have actual effects in
cases neither mmap operation nor timer-based scheduling model is used.
For mmap operation, backward compatibility to aplay(1) is lost.

This commit attempts to describe purpose of each option with more texts
than aplay(1).
I note that a section for scheduling model will be prepared near future.
This commit just adds a placeholder for the section.

I note that libffado backend has no support for suspend/resume because
libffado has enough implementation for these features even if it exports
some symbols for them. For this backend, reception of signals for the
features brings abortion of runtime.

This commit adds a manual for transfer subcommand in axfer(1). This
subcommand is a main feature of this command, to transfer audio data
frame between device/node and file/stdio.
This subcommand is designed to have several transmission backend.
Detail explanation about these backends is added in future commits.
