jpackage windows 32 bit jre

[Kevin Rushforth]

jpackage will only support JDK 11 and later. It is not a goal to be able 
to embed a JRE from JDK 8. For that you should continue to use the old 
javapackager tool that ships with JDK 8. So the fact that it "seems to 
work" up to a point is an accident. We should probably check for that 
case and fail with an informative error message.

Independent of the above, Windows 32-bit is not a supported platform in 
JDK 11 or later so we have not done any testing of running jpackage with 
a 32-bit JDK (nor do we intend to).
