docs(test): update static-initializers.test.ts comments to reflect mimalloc v3 (#26454)

## Summary
- Updates the docstring in static-initializers.test.ts which incorrectly
said "exactly one static initializer" - the test actually expects 2
initializers for both arm64 and x64 since the mimalloc v3 update
- Added a comment explaining that mimalloc v3 adds a static initializer
on arm64

## Background
The test file was updated in c63415c9c9 (Mimalloc v3 update) to expect 2
static initializers on arm64 (changed from 1 to 2), but the comments
were not updated to reflect this change. This PR updates the
documentation to accurately describe the expected behavior.

## Test plan
- [x] No functional changes - documentation only
