[PATCH 0/1] MR9794: ntdll: Add more information to error message.

[Bernhard Übelacker (＠bernhardu)]

If a user creates the wineprefix, with only 64-bit packages installed, the user gets an empty syswow64 directory inside the prefix.

In that situation 64-bit applications are running, but when the user then installs the 32-bit packages the prefix stops to work with this message, even when the application to invoke is a 64-bit application and worked before:
```
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135
```

To help diagnosing this sitution this patch adds some more information which process could not find which kernel32.dll. This would look like this:
```
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135, architecture wow64, in L"C:\\windows\\syswow64\\start.exe"
```

This caused probably bug #59043, and it bite me today again, when copying build directories to a ancient machine to save build time.
