test/codegen: mention -all_codegen in the README

Browse Source 
For performance reasons (avoiding costly cross-compilations) CL 177577
changed the codegen test harness to only run the tests for the
machine's GOARCH by default.

This change updates the codegen README accordingly, explaining what
all.bash does run by default and how to perform the tests for all
architectures.

Fixes #33924

- Introduction
The test harness compiles Go code inside files in this directory and
then matches the generated assembly (the output of `go tool compile -S`)
against a set of regexps specified in comments that follow a special
syntax (described below). The test driver is implemented as a step of
the top-level test/run.go suite, called "asmcheck".

The codegen harness is part of the all.bash test suite, but for
performance reasons only the codegen tests for the host machine's
GOARCH are enabled by default. To perform comprehensive tests for all
the supported architectures, one can run the following command
