[docs] Clarify that there isn't much to be done other than watch build

Fortunately, the missing pieces are few and far between, and we can
emulate most of them in our headers as needed.

Based on feedback from Lang and Dave.

Your best option if you cannot test on a Linux system is to minimize your use
of these features, and watch the Linux build bots to find out if your usage
triggered a bug. For example if you hit a type trait which doesn't work, we can
then add support to LLVM's traits header to emulate it.
