Create man pages for tep_get_page_size() and tep_set_page_size()
as part of the libtraceevent APIs. It also alignes description of
the functions (in the C code) with the man pages.

+NAME
+----
+tep_get_page_size,tep_set_page_size - Get / set the size of a memory page on the 
+machine, where the trace is generated 
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+int *tep_get_page_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+void *tep_set_page_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _page_size_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_get_page_size()_ function returns the size of a memory page on 
+the machine, where the trace is generated. The _tep_ argument is trace 
+event parser context.
+
+The _tep_set_page_size()_ function stores in the _tep_ context the size of a 
+memory page on the machine, where the trace is generated. 
+The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+The _page_size_ argument is the size of a memory page, in bytes. 
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_get_page_size()_ function returns size of the memory page, in bytes.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+	int page_size = 4096;
+	tep_set_page_size(tep, page_size);
+	if ( 4096 != tep_get_page_size(tep)) {
+		/* Something wrong happened, page size is not set as expected */
+	}
+--
