Backport of #69902 to release/6.0
Fixes: #70039
Customer Impact
This fixes the remaining issue with non-native host paths in machine's environment (PATH).
The fix uses a different model than x64-on-arm64. It is a simpler change as it's easy to determine if machine is 64-bit, using WersionNT64 property. This solution avoids unnecessary changes in arcade infra and adding additional complexity.
Testing
See main issue: #70039 (comment)
Risk
As with any breaking change, this will affect some users. In this case, anyone that wants 32-bit host (dotnet.exe) to be in PATH on 64-bit machines, will need to add host location to PATH manually.
