docs: Add note to cpu_family table about endianess [skip ci]

Autotools will add endianess to the name of the architecture in some
cases (such as ppc64le vs ppc64) meson doesn't do this. It's worth
noting this in the documentation.

Any cpu family not listed in the above list is not guaranteed to
remain stable in future releases.
Those porting from autotools should note that meson does not add
endianness to the name of the cpu_family. For example, autotools
will call little endian PPC64 "ppc64le", meson will not, you must
also check the `.endian()` value of the machine for this information.
## Operating system names
These are provided by the `.system()` method call.
