    README: drop mention of MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA · d060c49a

    The first sentence is half-way true; the macro is always defined, but
    has the value 0 or 1.
    
    The second is outright false. A lot of code guarded by
    MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA uses a "ulong" to store values, so if
    sizeof(long) is not 8, that code would probably compile, but not work
    at all as expected.
    
    It would probably be possible to make all such code explicitly use u64
    and thus make it work on 32 bit targets, but until that is done, do
    not pretend that it's ok to override the automatic value of
    MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA.
