lib/bitmap: extend comment for bitmap_(from,to)_arr32()



On LE systems bitmaps are naturally ordered, therefore we can potentially
use bitmap_copy routines when converting from 32-bit arrays, even if host
system is 64-bit. But it may lead to out-of-bond access due to unsafe
typecast, and the bitmap_(from,to)_arr32 comment doesn't explain that
clearly
