[PATCH] SUPPORT.md: Un-shimmed 32-bit PV guests are no longer supported

[George Dunlap]

The support status of 32-bit guests doesn't seem particularly useful.

NB this patch should be considered a proposal to the community, as a
follow-on to XSA-370.  As mentioned in the advisory, we will wait
until 25 May for comments before checking it in.
