[PATCH 1/2] git version --build-options: report the build platform, too

[Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>]

From: Adric Norris <landstander668@xxxxxxxxx>

When asking for bug reports to include the output of `git version
--build-options`, the idea is that we get a better idea of the
environment where said bug occurs. In this context, it is useful to
distinguish between 32 and 64-bit builds.

We start by distinguishing between x86 and x86_64 (hoping that
interested parties will extend this to other architectures in the
future).  In addition, all 32-bit variants (i686, i586, etc.) are
collapsed into `x86'. An example of the output is:

   $ git version --build-options
   git version 2.9.3.windows.2.826.g06c0f2f
   sizeof-long: 4
   machine: x86_64

The label of `machine' was chosen so the new information will approximate
the output of `uname -m'.
