Description
Why
Having 32bits support especially for ARM32 means that we can do tools using the sidechain codebase, this include wallets for Android ARMv7 but also any other kind of embedded hardware that wants to communicate with the sidechains.
It also highlights our decisions if things break when going to 32 bits that means there is pieces of code that we did overview.
Why not supported already?
As the node is supposed to have a lot of memory to keep the state, currently we didn't care if 32bits was working or not.
Tricks
OCaml has a support for immediate only on 64bits, which is useful, like Int63 in Base.
Another trick is to make an Int32 which is unboxed in 64bits and an Int31 that is unboxed in both.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by building the sidechain codebase for ARM32 and auditing the 64-bit assumptions described in the issue; done means the relevant tools support ARM32, including ARMv7 targets, without breaking those assumptions.
