This reverts commit dfc0702558.
We've seen some odd test failures (e.g. `passwords - tokens`) and trouble
updating from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2-beta.3 (easily solved with `meteor reset`,
but also worth investigating), so I think we should keep working on the
Mongo 3.6 upgrade in a PR, rather than running all of our tests against
a devel branch that includes Mongo 3.6.

Update the Meteor Tool to use Mongo 3.6.2 for 64-bit OS'
and Mongo 3.2.18 for 32-bit OS'. A few important mentions:
- As of Mongo 3.6, all Mongo binary downloads include
SSL - there is no longer a non-SSL based download bundle
(so it's a bit bigger, but that shouldn't be an issue).
- Using the `--nojournal` option with WiredTiger based
replica sets is no longer supported (see
https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-30760). The
`--nojournal` flag was added in
bcfe072d52
to help reduce the amount of disk space used by Mongo,
but since this option is no longer supported, we'll
have to live with the extra disk space usage.

The Generate Dev Bundle process no longer requires any modifications
to the $PATH, preventing environmental artifacts which pile up when
running the script over and over again.
I thought it was nifty to use this Cmd-let from PowerShell, to directly
parse the JSON output from Node's `process.release`, but as it turns
out, that wasn't supported by the version of PowerShell on our Jenkins
server. Alas!
This is a re-write of the generate-dev-bundle.ps1 script, which occurred
during debugging of an unrelated concern of the (new) 64-bit Windows
build on our Jenkins server. Ultimately, I'm afraid this script doesn't
solve the problem I originally set out to fix, which was a Windows
long-file path concern.
The hunch behind that thinking was that the use of npm@1 to install
npm@5 could be causing problems, since npm@1 had no concept of nested
node_modules directories. We had used npm@1 because Node.js
for Windows hasn't always offered (via nodejs.org/dist/) versions
including npm which we could use to install our own requirements.
Happily, that is no longer the case!
While this script now deals with long paths much more gracefully itself,
I'm not sure it completely quelled the long-path issue, and there are
still some directory trees which are longer than I think they should be.
The warnings I was seeing may not have harmed the actual bundle and were
more problematic for this build script itself when it tried to deal with
the aftermath of all those files, since native Windows commands struggle
to deal with long file paths (when cleaning up, etc.).
In the end, this script does have performance enhancements though! For
starters, it's nearly twice as fast at finishing. Most of this was
gained by avoiding back-and-forth moving of large file structures,
opting instead to directly install into the targets when possible.
It also ensures that the npm build cache is not bundled, which started
occurring since our modification of the $HOME and $USERPROFILE variables
led npm@5 to think the npm cache was in the root of the bundle.
Additionally, it no longer modifies the $PATH, in any way, during the
build. This became particularly helpful during testing when I found that
PowerShell maintained that $PATH in the environment of the host shell.
I'd like to say it increases readability of the script, which had
become a bit of a patchwork quilt, but that's YTBD and YMMV.
This is my first "complete" PowerShell script myself so it probably
still leaves some things to desired, formatting wise. Functionality-
wise, I hope it's improved.
This commit reverts much of the work @hwillson had put in place for
meteor/meteor#9173, which made it possible for 32-bit and 64-bit
Mongo versions to exist in harmony within the same dev-bundle. That
hard work was not in vein though as it offered invaluable research.
Ultimately, this showed that a more aggressive approach would be ideal,
even if the proposed option would have worked great in the short-term.
In the wake of the news that Mongo would no longer be supporting 32-bit
versions, these changes are important so 32-bit users of Meteor can
continue to have a functioning Mongo binary in development, while still
allowing Meteor to ship newer Mongo (e.g. 3.4+) binaries for 64-bit
users. This is particularly relevant for Windows users, who have
previously only had 32-bit Meteor builds and represented a majority of
"32-bit" development, despite the fact most of their hosts supported
64-bit. During another time in Meteor's life, this made sense.
This commit takes improved functionality to the next level (and makes
the aforementioned changes obsolete) by introducing support for building
and shipping Meteor for Windows in a 64-bit flavor (in addition to
32-bit), which will hopefully solve a number of performance matters on
Windows by using binaries which are pre-compiled for 64-bit, rather than
forcing the Windows kernel to deal with 32-bit binaries. While Windows
has shown it's quite capable of dealing with such a situation, it seems
more and more clear (given improvements in underlying dependencies) that
performance gains could be had by freeing Windows of its 32-bit work.
This commit also further perpetuates the "archinfo" plot-line with more
story (about Windows) and various spelling corrections.
If any part of the dev bundle generation fails, the script should stop.
I was encountering a barely-noticed failure in the Python extraction
when the download tarball was 404-ing (due to my own fault), but the
script proceeded as if the failure hadn't happened, resulting in a
broken dev bundle.
These changes introduce dual Mongo support into the Meteor
Tool. 32-bit Mongo (3.2.15) will be used by Meteor when the
Tool is run on a 32-bit OS (32-bit Linux and Windows). 64-bit
Mongo (3.4.9) will be used when the Tool is run on a 64-bit
OS (64-bit Linux, Windows and macOS).

This was preventing `node-gyp` from installing the Node header files on
Windows and was the reason that `minimatch` was not being found, as seen
in https://github.com/meteor/meteor/pull/8831.
The `minimatch` module was present, but it was just in `dev_bundle/lib`,
not in `dev_bundle/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules`.
This expecation may have been expected from older versions of npm but is
no longer the case. This replicates the behavior of the Unix
`generate_dev_bundle.sh` script, which also does not nest `node-gyp`.

This gives us a reliable place for node-gyp to find the necessary headers
and libraries for compiling binary packages, instead of relying on the
accessibility of $HOME and/or $USERPROFILE.
This reverts commit 64a9312e29.
Although Meteor runs fine on Node 4.5.0, node-gyp doesn't know how to
download libraries appropriate for RC releases, so it looks like we need
to hold off on this upgrade until it's officially out.
