    SUPPORT.md: clarify support of booting 32-bit Xen on ARMv8
    
    Since commit bd1001db0af1 ("xen/arm: arm32: Allow Xen to boot on
    unidentified CPUs"), it's been possible to boot 32-bit Xen on ARMv8A CPUs
    in AArch32 state (assuming HW supports EL2 execution in AArch32). Clarify
    the support statement and mark it as Tech Preview, as this use case is
    uncommon and hasn't really been tested/hardened.
