This driver now supports powerpc64, so add that to the list of supported
hardware. Further, rewrite that list into the canonical HARDWARE section
for inclusion in the FreeBSD 16.0 Hardware Release Note.
markj notes that it would be useful to list the CPU features required
for this driver to be usable on these platforms. ngie notes that this
would be good as a table.

I recently learned that you can restart just wlan0 instead of the entire
netif, which will save you when doing on-device networking like bhyve,
or activting wlan0 when it is booted parked via rc.conf's NOAUTO.

Manual pages have an optional architecture specifier after the section
number in the document title macro. I highly recommend using it when
expedient, the extra information is available programmatically and it
uses no extra lines in the rendered page.

Improve manpage compatability by dropping an abbreviation macro that
compiler upstreams do not want, causing manuals using it to render
incorrectly on other toolchains or operating systems. It was only used
in three manuals, which are amended in this commit.

The rest of the manual still contains details about i386 and could
