doc: Update roadmaps for 2025.

- Support for arm64 is pretty advanced now and not the biggest problem
with supporting phone hardware. (yay, progress!)
- ZFS was updated to be based on FreeBSD's version, and "works", but
more stabilization, optimization, and updating is always needed.
- NVME's been supported for several major releases now, but more
optimization work is always needed.
- Our scheduler is now topology-aware (yay, progress!)
- Mention aarch64 support in nvmm.
