Added notes to ARM ABI Variable table

The listing of ARM ABI variables can be intimidating because there's
5 choices and no information on which should be chosen.
I attempted to make short notes to help inform people about which
ABI would be a good choice.
Good info about ARM ABIs found at:
​http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort
