From: Bin Meng <bm...@tinylab.org>

The Spike HTIF is poorly documented. The only relevant info we can
get from the internet is from Andrew Waterman at [1].

Add a comment block before htif_handle_tohost_write() to explain
the tohost register format, and use meaningful macros instead of
magic numbers in the codes.

While we are here, correct 2 multi-line comment blocks that have
wrong format.
