Document the restriction that the asm-goto labels should not be jumped to indirectly if there's an architectural distinction (e.g. x64 with IBT).

This restriction is in place for rustc_codegen_gcc, and for LLVM, it's currently allowed, but https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-asm-goto-vs-branch-target-enforcement/85845 may disallow this in the future.

This is to clarify rust-lang/rust#119364 (comment). cc @programmerjake

This looks reasonable. Hopefully in the future there will be a label indirect mechanism or similar.
