[Bug 1037548] [NEW] (U)EFI install needs 64-bit installer

[Evertjan Garretsen]

Public bug reported:

To install Ubuntu using UEFI the 64-bit version is needed. This is not
clear from the download landing page. And the installer (ubiquity)
should also mention this when trying to install using an 32-bit
installation medium.
