Docs: Document __builtin_nontemporal_load and __builtin_nontemporal_store.

Summary:
In r247104 I added the builtins for generating non-temporal memory operations,
but now I realized that they lack documentation. This patch adds some.

+Non-temporal load/store builtins
+--------------------------------
+
+Clang provides overloaded builtins allowing generation of non-temporal memory
+accesses.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+  T __builtin_nontemporal_load(T *addr);
+  void __builtin_nontemporal_store(T value, T *addr);
+
+The types ``T`` currently supported are:
+
+* Integer types.
+* Floating-point types.
+* Vector types.
+
+Note that the compiler does not guarantee that non-temporal loads or stores
+will be used.
