Just use environment variables `PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432`/`PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE` on win32 instead of checking paths. Closes #26.

/**
* On Windows, the most reliable way to detect a 64-bit OS from within a 32-bit
* app is based on the presence of a WOW64 file: %SystemRoot%\SysNative.
* See: https://twitter.com/feross/status/776949077208510464
* On Windows, use the standard environment variables:
* "64-bit process: PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64/IA64/ARM64"
* "32-bit process: PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86, PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432=%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"
