meson: Fix nix_system_cpu for MIPS and 32 bit ARM systems

Browse source 
Prior patches in 54dc5314e8
and 6db6190002 fixed the default
system double for i686 and ppc/ppc64. This also patch also covers
32 bit arm and mips. ARM cpu names are taken from host_machine.cpu()
for a lack of a better option, but host_machine.cpu_family() is
preferred, since that is supposed to be somewhat standard for cross
files. Endianness is handled correctly by looking at host_machine.endian().

This also updates the documentation to be up to date to how system cpu
is translated from the host_machine specification.
