[docs] Scudo documentation minor update

Summary:
Minor changes to reflect changes to the code that were not documented:
- `SCUDO_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` compile time way of defining options;
- MIPS added as a supported architecture;
- clarification on how to fully disable the Quarantine;
- rewording in a few places.

Several aspects of the allocator can be configured on a per process basis
through the following ways:
- at compile time, by defining ``SCUDO_DEFAULT_OPTIONS`` to the options string
you want set by default;
- by defining a ``__scudo_default_options`` function in one's program that
returns the options string to be parsed. Said function must have the following
prototype: ``extern "C" const char* __scudo_default_options(void)``.
prototype: ``extern "C" const char* __scudo_default_options(void)``, with a
default visibility. This will override the compile time define;
- through the environment variable SCUDO_OPTIONS, containing the options string
to be parsed. Options defined this way will override any definition made
through ``__scudo_default_options``;
through ``__scudo_default_options``.
The options string follows a syntax similar to ASan, where distinct options
can be assigned in the same string, separated by colons.
