refuse to install if wrong jvm bitness is detected.

if someone is using java 32 bit and tries to install on a 64 bit operating system. we should detect this scenario.. flash a big warning and refuse to install anything.

this might go with native installers .. java 8 came with native builder, which i believe comes with a OS and bitness sniffer - with options to install the appropriate jvm

Minimally, the big scary warning sign would be very good

there's some testing/warning for this now... moving it to in progress. we should test and close this issue if we've at least got some sort of notification that wrong bit-ness is bad.
