This patch adds the modifications needed to compile under x64 under
Windows:
- created a new macro for testing if we are compiling under x64.
this will define the linker flag: "/MACHINE:X64" as per documentation
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9yb4317s.aspx).

- added x64 pthread libraries under the pthread defines

- add documentation on how to build under x64

The change looks good to me. We still need the patch "MSVC 64 bit
compile error" to be applied before we apply this one.

Thx Ben :).

http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2015-September/060357.html can be dropped.

Could you take a look over the patch: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2015-September/060441.html please.

Thanks,
Alin.

I think that Guru already reviewed that (patch 7) and was just waiting
for the prerequisite (what I pushed) to go in.

I applied this patch to master making some style changes to the documentation.
