x86: doc: Remove stale sections of 64-bit support

There are some sections in current doc saying 64-bit is unsupported.
This apparently is out of date. Remove it.

64-bit Support
--------------
U-Boot supports booting a 64-bit kernel directly and is able to change to
64-bit mode to do so. However, U-Boot itself is currently always built
in 32-bit mode. Some access to the full memory range is provided with
arch_phys_memset().
The development work to make U-Boot itself run in 64-bit mode has not yet
been attempted. The best approach would likely be to build a 32-bit SPL
image for U-Boot, with CONFIG_SPL_BUILD. This could then handle the early CPU
init in 16-bit and 32-bit mode, running the FSP and any other binaries that
are needed. Then it could change to 64-bit model and jump to U-Boot proper.
Given U-Boot's extensive 64-bit support this has not been a high priority,
but it would be a nice addition.
TODO List

- Audio
- Chrome OS verified boot
