Fix some out-of-date documentation reported by Ulf Martin.

.INSTALL.in:
	The build and install processes no longer automatically output
	log files, so don't mention them here.

	We also no longer output configure.log (since doing so caused
	problems with newer versions of autoconf).

	Update the list of architectures that support global registers
	to include x86_64.
