test: correct SIMD support comment by richardlau · Pull Request #58767 · nodejs/node

The comment in the test file stated that:
"SIMD is not supported on rhel8-ppc64le"

This is incorrect -- WASM SIMD support is dependent on the available
instructions, not the operating system. So it is more correct to say
that WASM SIMD is not supported on IBM Power8 architecture.
