runtime: move comment about address space sizes to malloc.go

Browse Source 
Currently there's a detailed comment in lfstack_64bit.go about address
space limitations on various architectures. Since that's now relevant
to malloc, move it to a more prominent place in the documentation for
memLimitBits.

Updates #10460.
