this was previously no triggered in x86 32-bit mode, due to a limitation in `bitstream.h`, that was fixed in #4248. Now, `bmi2` will be automatically detected and triggered at compilation time, if the corresponding instruction set is enabled, even in 32-bit mode. Also: updated library documentation, to feature STATIC_BMI2 build variable

Following the fix #4248,
bmi2mode is no longer limited tox6464-bit mode.Consequently, this patch makes it possible to automatically detect and use this instruction set at compilation time, even when the target is 32-bit.
This makes it possible to use this instruction set in 32-bit mode, resulting in significant speed gains, notably on the decompression side.
