   It seems like the only thing that is missing from the docs at 
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/cpp/env_vars.html#envvar-ARROW_USER_SIMD_LEVEL is 
an explanation of what `ARROW_RUNTIME_SIMD_LEVEL` does and why one would use it.
   
   Perhaps something like:
   
   > In addition to `ARROW_SIMD_LEVEL` there is another CMake flag 
`ARROW_RUNTIME_SIMD_LEVEL`. This controls the maximum runtime-selectable SIMD 
path that is compiled. For example, if set to `AVX2` on x86, then all `AVX512` 
code paths with be omitted from the compiled code.
