Rename Intel to x86-64 to avoid confusion

Browse Source 
Much of our documentation on how to build Chromium/etc. says that an
"Intel" machine is needed. This has never been true. What is needed is
an x86-64 machine - it could be Intel, AMD, or a custom processor
with transistors created using very small tweezers.

This change simply replaces [64-bit] Intel with x86-64 in seven places
in our documentation.
