Improve documentation about use of Linux huge pages.

Show how to get the system's huge page size, rather than misleadingly
referring to PAGE_SIZE (which is usually understood to be the regular
page size). Show how to confirm whether huge pages have been allocated.
Minor wordsmithing. Back-patch to 9.4 where this section appeared.
