If a cxl enable or disable operation is executed resulting in no-op, the
tool will still emit the number of targets the operation has succeeded on.
For example, if disable-region is issued and the region is already
disabled, the tool will still report 1 region disabled. Add verbiage to
man pages to document the behavior.

- Update subject and commit log (Vishal)
- Remove region example to make it generic (Vishal)
- Fixup documentation verbiage. (Vishal)

+Given any enable or disable command, if the operation is a no-op due to the
+current state of a target, it is still considered successful when executed
+even if no actual operation is performed. The target can be a bus, decoder,
+memdev, or region. The operation will still succeed with the number of
+bus/decoder/memdev/region operated on reported, even if the operation is a
+non-action.
