std: io: error: Add comment for UEFI unpacked repr use

The following commit adds the comment explaining the rational why UEFI uses unpacked representation on 64-bit platforms as opposed to bit-packed representation used in all other 64-bit platforms.

#[cfg(test)]

// On 64-bit platforms, `io::Error` may use a bit-packed representation to
// reduce size. However, this representation assumes that error codes are
// always 32-bit wide.
//
// This assumption is invalid on 64-bit UEFI, where error codes are 64-bit.
// Therefore, the packed representation is explicitly disabled for UEFI
// targets, and the unpacked representation must be used instead.
