Steve MacLean 2657983b4c perf docs: Correct and clarify jitdump spec
Specification claims latest version of jitdump file format is 2. Current
jit dump reading code treats 1 as the latest version.

Correct spec to match code.

The original language made it unclear the value to be written in the
magic field.

Revise language that the writer always writes the same value. Specify
that the reader uses the value to detect endian mismatches.
