btrace: support 32-bit inferior on 64-bit host

The heuristic for filtering out kernel addressess in BTS trace checks the
most significant bit in each address.  This works fine for 32-bit and 64-bit
mode.

For 32-bit compatibility mode, i.e. a 32-bit inferior running on 64-bit
host, we need to check bit 63 (or any bit bigger than 31), not bit 31.

Use the machine field in struct utsname provided by a uname call to
determine whether we are running on a 64-bit host.

Thanks to Jan Kratochvil for reporting the issue.
