x86: update CONFIG_NUMA description

Impact: clarify/update CONFIG_NUMA text

CONFIG_NUMA description talk about a bit old thing.
So, following changes are better.

 o CONFIG_NUMA is no longer EXPERIMENTAL

 o Opteron is not the only processor of NUMA topology on x86_64 no longer,
   but also Intel Core7i has it.
