Make it even clearer that we do know that it works on other platforms
and architectures than the ones listed, even if they're not hooked up
in CI.

This is an attempt to fend off discussions with potential users
that would interpret the list as saying that any architecture/platform
combination not on the list is explicitly known to be broken.

+These are platform/architecture combinations that are continuously tested, that
+are formally supported. In practice, the library also is regularly used on
+other architectures and platforms, but as they're not continuously tested
+they're not listed as formally supported.

 Generally speaking, libc++ should work on any platform that provides a fairly complete
 C Standard Library. It is also possible to turn off parts of the library for use on
 systems that provide incomplete support.
