docs: i2c: smbus-protocol: mention the repeated start condition
Sr is a repeated start, it is used in both I2C and SMBus protocols. Provide its description and replace start ("S") conditions with repeated start ("Sr") conditions when relevant. This allows the documentation to match the SMBus specification available at [1].
