MLBEDSW-7689: Document verbose command stream options
- Documented High-Level and register-Level command stream options - Changed High-Level command stream display to show the name of the command - Fixed an issue with some operators not being displayed by the CLI option --verbose-operators - Changed an unneeded print in pass packing to a more useful assertion Change-Id: I9d53f19f4e32d0478209bc964724c27c935f66d6 Signed-off-by: Tim Hall <tim.hall@arm.com>

### Verbose High Level Command Stream
-Display a high level command stream with one command per DMA or NPU stripe. The
-commands contain information about block configuration as well as IFM-, OFM-
-and weight boxes.
+Display an enumerated list of High-Level (HL) commands in execution
+order. There are three types of command and each one displays individual
+information:
+
+* NPU Stripe = `<name> <ifm_box> <ifm2_box> <ofm_box> <weight_box>
+<block_config>`, represents a data processing operation that maps directly to
+a single Ethos-U operation where;
+name = name of the pass that corresponds to this HL command (not unique)
+ifm_box = part of the IFM in NHWC format
+ifm2_box = part of the IFM2 in NHWC format (is empty [] when not present)
+ofm_box = part of the OFM in NHWC format
+weight_box = part of the filter kernel in NHWC format
+block_config = block processing size in HWIO format
+
+* DMA = `<in> <out> <box>`, represents a memory copy operation from source to
+destination where;
+name = name of the pass that corresponds to this HL command (not unique)
+in = name of the source tensor
+out = name of the destination tensor
+box = part of the source tensor in NHWC format
+
+* NOP = `<in> <out>`, represents a memory copy operation that has source equal
+to destination and therefore does nothing, where;
+name = name of the pass that corresponds to this HL command (not unique)
+in = name of the input tensor
+out = name of the output tensor

### Verbose Register Command Stream
-Display all NPU operations and a register level (low level) command stream with
-all register settings for the network execution on the NPU.
+Display two groups of information. The first group is the input to the register
+command stream generator. The second group is the output of the register
+command stream generator:
+
+* Input = an enumerated list of the High-Level commands that are the input to
+the generator. Each command details all of its attributes.
+
+* Output = a disassembly of the Ethos-U command stream (referred to as the
+register command stream). More information about the commands listed in the
+register command stream can be found in the Arm Ethos-U NPU Technical Reference
+Manuals that are available from the Arm Developer website (see
+[README - Resources](README.md#resources)).
