Install instructions shouldn't be x64 specific

Looks like all the curl based instructions are x64. That probably no longer makes sense, particularly for macOS.

who should this be assigned to? @leecow @rbhanda?

Assigning to Rahul. He can re-assign as needed.

I do see a number of issues on the install instruction pages but using a particular architecture in the examples doesn't feel like one of them.

install-linux.md

• Content covering distro-provided installs versus Microsoft-provided installs and the importance of not crossing them. Perhaps a link to the docs side covering the topic will suffice.
• Install using deb/rpm packages only talks about preview installation. There should be a preview section as that is a distinct workflow, and we also need the coverage for stable releases. See first bullet.
• Installing using Snap should cover the --channel options.
• Installing from a binary archive should cover download locations.

install-macos.md

• Installing from a binary archive should cover download locations.
