tracing/doc: Fix ascii-art in histogram-design.rst
This fixes the Sphinx parallel build error when building htmldocs:
docutils.utils.SystemMessage: /home/sfr/next/next/Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst:219: (SEVERE/4) Unexpected section title.
It also fixes a bunch of other warnings I noticed when fixing the
above, caused by mixing ascii-art and text.
