Update documentation to mention huge pages on other OSes

Previously, the docs implied that only Linux and Windows could use huge
pages. That's not quite true: it's just that we only know how to
request them explicitly on those OSes. Be more explicit about what
huge_pages really does and mention that some OSes may use huge pages
automatically.
