Remove references to "Win32" and "32-bit Windows".
They were there mainly to distinguish from 16-bit Windows, which hasn't been a thing since before a noticeable fraction of the userbase were born, probably. These days the obvious comparison is with 64-bit Windows. Also tweak some wording to reflect that official PuTTY executables are not necessarily 32-bit any more, and add some XXX-REVIEW-BEFORE-RELEASE in the same vein.
