Add 32-bit command line options and deprecate x86 equivalents
choco install -h
--x86, --forcex86 ForceX86 - Force x86 (32bit) installation on 64 bit systems. Defaults to false.
The problem is x86 is an architecture family of varying bit depths which is inclusive of 64-bit so this doesn't make strict sense.
Propose --32b, --force32bit
But yeah, it's probably something we will want to deprecate and remove in v2.
REMINDER: create a ticket for removing the deprecated options that can be linked to 2.x milestone
After talking about this one together with Gary and later Paul it was decided that it would make more sense to add 32bit or force32bit options to this instead of deprecating/removing the --x86 and --forcex86 options.
For the most part, keeping these options comes down to people using these already having this at their fingertips, as well as a high likelihood that people use it as part of their own custom automation scripts to install Chocolatey packages.
While it is a misnomer it is also not completely inaccurate either.
