app-emulation/wine-*: update USE=wow64 description a bit

This has been improving, OpenGL performance should be better but still
not necessarily as good and it may vary depending on setup. Supposedly
has 16-bit support now albeit haven't really looked into that so this
could be wrong.

Either way, stay a bit more vague about what works and what doesn't,
it also depend on the version used either way and not planning to try
keeping version ranges in metadata.xml.

Believe it should still be called experimental though, or at least
until wine removes its own "experimental" warning when it's used
(or at least I think it's still there, haven't checked latest version).
When it does, we could probably start considering making it default.
