kbuild: doc: replace arch/$(ARCH)/ with arch/$(SRCARCH)/
Precisely speaking, the arch directory is specified by $(SRCARCH),
not $(ARCH).
In old days, $(ARCH) actually matched to the arch directory because
32-bit and 64-bit were supported as separate architectures.
Most architectures (except arm/arm64) were unified like follows:
arch/i386, arch/x86_64 -> arch/x86
arch/sh, arch/sh64 -> arch/sh
arch/sparc, arch/sparc64 -> arch/sparc
To not break the user interface, commit 6752ed90da03 ("Kbuild: allow
arch/xxx to use a different source path") introduced SRCARCH to point
to the arch directory, still allowing to pass in the former ARCH=i386
or ARCH=x86_64.
Update the documents for preciseness, and add the explanation of SRCARCH.
