Documentation: i2c: improve section about flags mangling the protocol

Sort the entries alphabetically. Make the introductory paragraph more
precise. Skip useless 'Flag' introduction from the entries. Remove
trailing white spaces from the file. Add missing I2C_M_STOP entry.

+I2C_M_REV_DIR_ADDR:
     This toggles the Rd/Wr flag. That is, if you want to do a write, but
     need to emit an Rd instead of a Wr, or vice versa, you set this
     flag. For example:
