I just committed another few changes.

I found an imo clean way to drop the wineserver package again, and even
make the wineserver binaries co-installable again, while only one of
them is visible to Wine (seems obvious in hindsight.

So we are back to our old package set.

The result of the changes boils down to (filename, type, package):

/usr/bin/wine	     script, wine
/usr/bin/wine64      -> /usr/lib/wine/wine64, wine64
/usr/lib/wine/wine   binary, wine32
/usr/lib/wine/wine32 -> /usr/lib/wine/wine, wine32
/usr/lib/wine/wine64 binary, wine64

/usr/bin/wineserver         script, wine
/usr/lib/wine/wineserver32  binary, wine32
/usr/lib/wine/wineserver64  binary, wine64

/usr/share/man/man1/wine.1.gz       wine
/usr/share/man/man1/wine64.1.gz     wine
/usr/share/man/man1/wineserver.1.gz wine

The wineserver script defaults to the 64-bit wineserver.
Without "wine" being installed e.g. /usr/lib/wine/wine will not work
anymore, unless you set WINESERVER. Since no wine32 or wine64 binary is
in path I'm ok with that. (wine32 and wine64 recommend wine, wine
depends on wine64|wine32.)

Now a wine64 manpage is built, using the wine manpage's source.
If after the build  the wine manpage is missing, the built wine64
manpage is used. So arch:all packages build again on amd64. For some
details see #807026 today. I'm ok with the possible mismatch of bindir
in the manpages, since it's not really relevant. Imo no sane way to
handle this better.

I successfully tested Steam, Origin (both 32-bit) and ImageMagick
(64-bit) in the same 64-bit prefix. The 32-bit apps also worked in a
win32 prefix (running the 64-bit wineserver).

Unless we spot anything, I guess the packages are ready now. Should we
place a NEWS entry? WoW64 is new, wine needs to be installed, and
~/.wine64 isn't used automatically any more.
