Android docs: mention x86_64 emulators
Android Studio supports x86_64 emulators in addition to 32-bit x86
emulators. This mentions Android Studio's support, and why someone may
still prefer an x86 emulator. This also advises how to set GN args for
x86_64 devices.

# Using an Android Emulator
-Always use x86 emulators. Although arm emulators exist, they are so slow that
-they are not worth your time.
+Always use x86 emulators (or x86\_64 for testing 64-bit APKs). Although arm
+emulators exist, they are so slow that they are not worth your time.
## Building for Emulation
You need to target the correct architecture via GN args:
```gn
-target_cpu = "x86"
+target_cpu = "x86" # or "x64" if you have an x86_64 emulator
```
