docs/system: add general note about architecture and machine differences

Browse Source 
Add a note near the start of the introduction explaining that QEMU
options, properties, and command lines may differ between target
architectures and machine types. This helps prevent confusion when
examples shown for one architecture do not work for another, such as
the pflash0/pflash1 options visible in -machine help on some machines
but not others.

Introduction
============
.. note::
QEMU supports many different target CPU architectures and many
different machine types for each architecture. Options, properties,
and command lines that work for one architecture or machine type
will not necessarily work on another. The examples shown in this
manual are specific to the architecture and machine type being
demonstrated. When in doubt, consult the documentation for your
specific target architecture and machine type.
