8f4ba90b8ff47c7f90fe65d3ed37f486f9fe3a74 build: document why we check for std::system (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  It's probably debatable if we support targets like iOS, but for now, document why we are checking for this standard library feature.

  Trying to use `std::system` for a `aarch64-darwin-ios` target results in:
  ```bash
  test.cpp:7:10: error: 'system' is unavailable: not available on iOS
      7 |     std::system("some_command");
        |          ^
  /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/_stdlib.h:203:6: note: 'system' has been explicitly marked unavailable here
    203 | int      system(const char *) __DARWIN_ALIAS_C(system);
        |          ^
  1 error generated.
  ```
