doc: clarify arch support for power platforms
Add specifics as to the level of hardware supported for power platforms. Power 8 is the first processor level to support ppc little endian. Set the minimum level for AIX to Power7 for Node version 8 and later. This will allow the potential to leverage new instructions and optimizations going forward. We have spoken to the AIX team and they agree this makes sense. Earlier processor levels will continue to be supported for version 4.x and 6.x on AIX.
