Description
### System Information
Archlinux
### LMMS Version(s)
Any version
### Most Recent Working Version
_No response_
### Bug Summary
Since Archlinux transitioned to using wow64 in their wine package, we can no longer load 32bit Windows VSTs on Linux.
### Expected Behaviour
32bit plugins should load normally.
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Ensure the official wine package is installed and of latest version.
2. Launch LMMS and try to open a 32bit VST, e.g. Meowsynth.
LMMS freezes for a moment with this printed in the console:
```
wine: failed to start L"Z:\\kdm\\home\\kdm\\compiled\\lmms.master\\lib\\lmms\\32\\RemoteVstPlugin32.exe.so": c000007b
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.
Remote plugin exit code: 1
remote plugin died! invalidating now.
Remote plugin did not connect.

Research direction
Reproduce on Archlinux with the latest official wine package by launching LMMS and opening a 32-bit Windows VST such as Meowsynth. Start from the RemoteVstPlugin32.exe.so launch failure and its console output; done means 32-bit VSTs load normally without the remote plugin dying.
