[PATCH v1 1/3] perf env: Track kernel 64-bit mode in environment

It's useful to know that the kernel is running in 32-bit or 64-bit
mode.  E.g. We can decide if perf tool is running in compat mode
based on the info.

This patch adds an item "kernel_is_64_bit" into session's environment
structure perf_env, its value is initialized based on the architecture
string.
