[simd.general, bibliography] Add SIMD acronym explanation and bibliographic reference (#7504)
To the existing Note at the beginning of [simd.general], add text that unpacks the SIMD acronym and refers to Flynn 1966. Add bibliography entry for Flynn 1966, the paper that introduced what later became known as "Flynn's Taxonomy." This classifies parallel computer hardware as SISD, SIMD, MISD, or MIMD.
