doc/go1.1.html: state that the heap is bigger on 64-bit machines

Be deliberately vague, since the precise details should not be depended upon.
Fixes #5155.

<h3 id="heap">Heap size on 64-bit architectures</h3>
<p>
On 64-bit architectures only, the maximum heap size has been enlarged substantially,
from a few gigabytes to several tens of gigabytes.
(The exact details depend on the system and may change.)
</p>
<p>
On 32-bit architectures, the heap size has not changed.
</p>
<p>
<em>Updating</em>:
This change should have no effect on existing programs beyond allowing them
to run with larger heaps.
