Pull Request Overview
This PR updates the documentation to reflect that Couchbase Server on x86 platforms now requires AVX2 instructions instead of just deprecating non-AVX2 processors. The change moves from a deprecation notice to a hard requirement for AVX2 support.
Key changes:
- Removes the deprecation notice for non-AVX2 x86 processors from release notes
- Updates system requirements to make AVX2 mandatory for x86 platforms
- Restructures the processor requirements documentation with clearer tables and consolidated information

| The recommended hardware is sixteen CPU cores, 16GiB RAM, and SSD disks. | ||
| If the command returns the text `Processor has AVX2`, your processor meets Couchbase Server's AVX2 requirement. | ||
| If the command returns `AVX2 not found`, your processor does not have AVX2 instructions is not supported. |

This sentence has incorrect grammar. It should read 'your processor does not have AVX2 instructions and is not supported' or 'your processor does not have AVX2 instructions, so it is not supported'.
| If the command returns `AVX2 not found`, your processor does not have AVX2 instructions is not supported. | |
| If the command returns `AVX2 not found`, your processor does not have AVX2 instructions and is not supported. |

| For the best performance on Apple Silicon systems, use the native Apple Silicon build of Couchbase Server instead of the x86 build running in Rosetta. | ||
