Tighten the comments on the PyPI metadata guards

torchcodec publishes no sdist and only manylinux_2_28_x86_64, macosx_*_arm64 and
win_amd64 wheels, so on Linux aarch64, Windows ARM64 and Intel Mac there is
nothing for pip to resolve and the whole install fails before the user gets an
environment. Wiring audio-torch210 into the cu*-torch2100 extras made that
reachable from those extras too. Gate on the platforms that have a wheel,
matching PLATFORM_LACKS_TORCHCODEC_WHEEL in studio/install_python_stack.py.

Also record why the amd and huggingfacenotorch extras cannot be torch-free on
this branch: extras are additive to the base dependencies, which deliberately
carry the full runtime here so a bare pip install works.
