This makes a change to the preferred list of payloads inspired by the exploit added in #20747. In that PR it was noticed that the payload was defaulting to AARCH64 when it wasn't specified and that's not as common of an architecture as x86 / x64. The changes in this PR will prioritize the 32-bit Windows meterpreter when it's compatible. 64-bit version of Windows always support 32-bit code execution AFAIK. The same isn't true for Linux though, so in cases where the 32-bit version of the Windows Meterpreter isn't compatible, we'll default to an x64 meterpreter for any platform.
