#35354: Dosbox disable 64bit until next version

Comment(by domiman@…):
The problem is that even when the crash is fixed, core dynamic on 64bit is
way less efficient and is at about only 20-50% of the speed than on 32bit.
And this likely won't change since this is just the nature of the 64bit
dynamic core :(
(not to mention that current SVN of Dosbox is broken again and the 64bit
built is at only 1% speed of the 32bit built :) - I volunteered for the
dosbox defs to find the culprit but haven't had time to do so)
Since DOS emulation needs a lot of speed for "newer" old DOS games this is
the reason I'd never recommend a 64bit built of Dosbox.
