arch/Config.in.x86: indicate how the CPU variants are ordered

They are loosely ordered according to the ordering of the gcc
documentation. It is not entirely correct as the generic x86-64,
x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4 are listed before i386 in the gcc
documentation, but this nevertheless gives a good explanation for the
overall ordering of the list.
