Document the fact that emulation is being used. #71

It might be really obvious to people who know how this works, but for someone just looking to run something on non-x86 arch it might not be. I had to dig quite a bit to confirm that emulation via QEmu was being used. This matters because it is going to have big implications for performance.

This could be as simple as changing the description to:

A GitHub Action that executes commands on non-x86 CPU architecture (armv6, armv7, aarch64, s390x, ppc64le) using emulation.

Makes sense.
