doc: improve documentation for GOAMD64
The change clarifies in the release notes for go1.18 that the variable
is for compilation and references the microarchitecture description in
the Go Wiki,
https://golang.org/wiki/MinimumRequirements#amd64,
and references the same information in the output of go help
environment.
Fixes #50174
