Update Windows installer names so both architectures contain this information

Description

On Windows we currently build:

  • Mantid.msi
  • Mantid64.msi

Change both to a have standard naming convention that simply matches the architecture:

  • Mantid-32bit.msi
  • Mantid-64bit.msi

Granted this says nothing about only supporting "amd64" type processors but we should prefer ease of use, i.e. not confusing people with AMD/Intel chips, for our vast majority of users rather than worrying about an event that probably wont even happen: installing on an ia64 processor.
