x86/Kconfig: Merge the two CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM entries
There are two menu entries for X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM, one for X86_32 and the other for X86_64. These entries are nearly identical, with the only difference being the platform list in the help message. While this structure was intended by commit 8425091ff8af ("x86: improve the help text of X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM"), there is no need to duplicate the entire config entry. Instead, provide a little more clarification in the help message.
