Input: elantech - update the documentation
A chapter is added to describe the trackpoint packets.
A section is added to describe the behaviour of the knob crc_enabled in
sysfs.
The introduction of the documentation only mentioned v1/v2, but in the
last part it already contains explanation of v3 and v4. The introduction
is updated.
