[PATCH] docs: specify stability of hypfs path documentation



In docs/misc/hypfs-paths.pandoc the supported paths in the hypervisor
file system are specified. Make it more clear that path availability
might change, e.g. due to scope widening or narrowing (e.g. being
limited to a specific architecture).

This might be a candidate for 4.14, as hypfs is new in 4.14 and the
documentation should be as clear as possible.
