Close #172: Unable to unpack Int64 when running on 32-bit OS

Browse Source 
Added a note to documentation that only 64-bit distributions are supported.  It seems unlikely that anybody would be running a production server on anything else these days so we'll wait for a field report before taking further action.

<p>This user guide is intended to be followed sequentially from beginning to end &amp;mdash; each section depends on the last. For example the <link section="/backup">Backup</link> section relies on setup that is performed in the <link section="/quickstart">Quick Start</link> section. Once you have <backrest/> up and running then skipping around is possible but it is recommended to follow the user guide in order the first time through.</p>
<p>Although the examples are targeted at Ubuntu and <postgres/> 9.4 they will also work fine on Debian and it should be fairly easy to apply this guide to any Unix distribution and <postgres/> version. The only OS-specific commands are those to create, start, stop, and drop <postgres/> clusters. The <backrest/> commands will be the same on any Unix system though the locations to install Perl libraries and executables may vary. Configuring archiving is different on <postgres/> versions &amp;lt;= 8.4 and configuration information can be found in the <postgres/> documentation.</p>

<p>A somewhat novel approach is taken to documentation in this user guide. Each command is run on a virtual machine when the documentation is built from the XML source. This means you can have a high confidence that the commands work correctly in the order presented. Output is captured and displayed below the command when appropriate. If the output is not included it is because it was deemed not relevant or was considered a distraction from the narrative.</p>
