x86/mm: Remove CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G support

HIGHMEM64G support was added in linux-2.3.25 to support (then)
high-end Pentium Pro and Pentium III Xeon servers with more than 4GB of
addressing, NUMA and PCI-X slots started appearing.

I have found no evidence of this ever being used in regular dual-socket
servers or consumer devices, all the users seem obsolete these days,
even by i386 standards:

- Support for NUMA servers (NUMA-Q, IBM x440, unisys) was already
removed ten years ago.

- 4+ socket non-NUMA servers based on Intel 450GX/450NX, HP F8 and
ServerWorks ServerSet/GrandChampion could theoretically still work
with 8GB, but these were exceptionally rare even 20 years ago and
would have usually been equipped with than the maximum amount of
RAM.

- Some SKUs of the Celeron D from 2004 had 64-bit mode fused off but
could still work in a Socket 775 mainboard designed for the later
Core 2 Duo and 8GB. Apparently most BIOSes at the time only allowed
64-bit CPUs.

- The rare Xeon LV "Sossaman" came on a few motherboards with
registered DDR2 memory support up to 16GB.

- In the early days of x86-64 hardware, there was sometimes the need
to run a 32-bit kernel to work around bugs in the hardware drivers,
or in the syscall emulation for 32-bit userspace. This likely still
works but there should never be a need for this any more.

PAE mode is still required to get access to the 'NX' bit on Atom
'Pentium M' and 'Core Duo' CPUs.

docs: move x86 documentation into Documentation/arch/

Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning
up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more
closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.

All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.
