doc: update AIX minimum supported arch

richardlau · web-flow · commit 646e057680dc · 2022-04-07T11:43:12.000+01:00
Raise the minimum supported arch for AIX to Power 8 in line with the existing minimum supported Power arch for Linux. We do not have anything earlier than Power 8 in our CI so are unable to test on it, and have reached out to IBM who have no concerns over baselining on Power 8 for Node.js 18.
