Could I have a review that clarifies how the method sample events work?

- Added descriptions to NativeMethodSample, ExecutionSample and CPUTimeSample to clarify what they sample and what they don't sample.
- Removed the word "Method" from the labels of the CPUTimeSample and "ExecutionSample events for consistency and to avoid overly verbose event labels.
- Added the word "setting" so that the description of CPUTimeSample reads "throttle setting" instead of just "throttle".
- Changed the label for the CPUTimeSamplesLost event to "CPU Time Samples Lost", making it easier to associate with "CPU Time Sample" event. 
- Removed the percentage column from the "native-methods" view, as normalization doesn't make sense when mixing executing and waiting samples.


Testing: tets/jdk/jdk/jfr + tier1

Thanks
Erik
