Prefer win64 full installer on /installer-help/ when appropriate
Description
Currently, when an user lands on https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/installer-help/?channel=release, they always get a win32 full installer, even if the stub installer finds their Windows OS to be compatible with win64 builds of Firefox.

I want to work on this issue
This appears to have been corrected. @Errolyn just tested with their Win64 bit build machine and found that the proper, expected Win64 bit build was provided.
As far as I know this was never fixed on the bedrock side, so I’m very curious as to how the 64bit build is being provided?
And blah . . . this remains, obviously. Thank you for confirming @alexgibson. I tested on my wife's Win64 bit and was provided the 32bit version of Firefox.
Depends on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621749
Bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621749 has been fixed, so this is actually ready to work on I think!
The new installer_arch parameter should now provide the following hints to the /installer-help/ page:
- if
installer_arch=1we should serve Windows 32bit installer. - If
installer_arch=2we should serve the Windows 64bit installer. - If
installer_arch=3we should serve the Windows AARCH64 installer.
If the installer_arch parameter is not present (i.e. unknown), we can assume to show links to the Windows 32bit installer.
