Documentation: ioctl-number: Update table intro 



Introduction paragraph to the ioctl numbers table states that only
ioctls in up to ancient Linux kernel version (v2.6.31) for x86 arch are
listed. This is inaccurate as the table also lists ioctls from non-x86
archs and the kernel is continously developed (currently in v6.x).

Update the paragraph accordingly.

This table lists ioctls visible from user land for Linux/x86.  It contains

most drivers up to 2.6.31, but I know I am missing some.  There has been

no attempt to list non-X86 architectures or ioctls from drivers/staging/.

This table lists ioctls visible from userland, excluding ones from

drivers/staging/.
