Update yjit docs (#6548)
* The list of supported architectures was updated in
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/5ef048e5b1c3dd61adf782ace570bb0a1f9bb12f
but the first paragraph wasn't updated.
* `--yjit-trace-exits` was missing from the command-line options
* Fixes some spacing issues
* Updates call threshold default to 10, verified in the code that's
correct.
* Add code ticks around method names.
* Fix namespace of stats example
