Help: Move generator platform support details to variable docs

Move the details about support for generator platform specification
to the `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable documentation.  This is
a more suitable place because it is shared by all means to set this
variable, not just the `cmake -A` option.

Some CMake generators support a platform name to be given to the
native build system to choose a compiler or SDK. See the
:variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable.
This is supported only on specific generators:
* For :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` with VS 2005 and above this
specifies the target architecture.
See native build system documentation for allowed platform names.
