xen/elfnote: Specify ELF Notes are x86-specific
The Xen ELF Notes are only used with x86. libelf's elf_xen_note_check()
exits early for ARM binaries with "ELF: Not bothering with notes on
ARM".
Add a comment to the top of elfnote.h specifying that Notes are only used
with x86 binaries. This is to avoid adding disclaimers for individual
notes.
