Incorporate 64 bit in DLL name

Description

Currently the default DLL name on Windows consist of base, toolset, threading, runtime and boost version. However it does not include if build for 32 bit or 64 bit. This would be a welcome addition so that DLL's can live side by side.

This was also discussed 10 years ago: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/bbv2-autolink-Re-boost-Naming-of-32-64-bit-libs-td2688206.html

On second thought, we may store it in a different directory. This seems the common way of working (i.e. Microsoft; TBB)
