docs: update delaytop documentation for new interactive features

This commit updates the delaytop documentation to reflect the newly
added features:
1) Added comprehensive description of interactive keyboard controls
2) Documented all available sort fields
3) Added examples for advanced usage scenarios
4) Included PSI availability note

After the system starts, use `delaytop` to get the system-wide delay information,
which includes system-wide PSI information and Top-N high-latency tasks.
Note: PSI support requires `CONFIG_PSI=y` and `psi=1` for full functionality.
`delaytop` supports sorting by CPU latency in descending order by default,
displays the top 20 high-latency tasks by default, and refreshes the latency
data every 2 seconds by default.
`delaytop` is an interactive tool for monitoring system pressure and task delays.
It supports multiple sorting options, display modes, and real-time keyboard controls.
Get PSI information and Top-N tasks delay, since system boot::
Basic usage with default settings (sorts by CPU delay, shows top 20 tasks, refreshes every 2 seconds)::
bash# ./delaytop

Dynamic interactive interface of delaytop::
Interactive keyboard controls during runtime::
o - Select sort field (CPU, IO, IRQ, Memory, etc.)
M - Toggle display mode (Default/Memory Verbose)
q - Quit
Available sort fields(use -s/--sort or interactive command)::
cpu(c) - CPU delay
blkio(i) - I/O delay
irq(q) - IRQ delay
mem(m) - Total memory delay
swapin(s) - Swapin delay (memory verbose mode only)
freepages(r) - Freepages reclaim delay (memory verbose mode only)
thrashing(t) - Thrashing delay (memory verbose mode only)
compact(p) - Compaction delay (memory verbose mode only)
wpcopy(w) - Write page copy delay (memory verbose mode only)
Advanced usage examples::
# ./delaytop -s blkio
Sorted by IO delay
# ./delaytop -s mem -M
Sorted by memory delay in memory verbose mode
# ./delaytop -p pid
