no longer limit automated BMI2 detection to x64
this was previously no triggered in x86 32-bit mode, due to a limitation in `bitstream.h`, that was fixed in #4248. Now, `bmi2` will be automatically detected and triggered at compilation time, if the corresponding instruction set is enabled, even in 32-bit mode. Also: updated library documentation, to feature STATIC_BMI2 build variable
