Build and release Electron app for Windows 32-bit

[jryans]

Splitting this out from #12707, as we're leaving Windows 32-bit for after release.

This still depends on neon-bindings/neon#491 or taking some other approach.

Looks like neon-bindings/neon#491 has merged now

When will the x32 client be released?

If somebody can hear me, answer me please. Lack of x32 client is very big limitation

At the moment, there is no specific timeline for Windows 32-bit. We are waiting to see if demand warrants the work involved to rework build systems to provide them again.

+1 for 32-bit builds. I and several others I know have 32-bit Windows tablets for general comms. Bit of a showstopper after swapping us all over to Matrix and being happy with Element on almost all of our devices. Seems surreal that a Nintendo 3DS can run Matrix, and yet the 32-bit version of Windows can only run it within a browser window.

Element isn't the only Matrix client available on Windows, so I disagree.

Element runs rings around everything else I've tried in terms of features implemented.

Sure, but Element also doesn't run on a Nintendo 3DS

[HammyHavoc]

Good point. Guess it was middle-of-the-night brain talking.

Hello. We have old RiotIM client for x32 PCs. After last upgrade we got an error "device_keys values must be a list of strings" during send of message. Can we have temporary workaroud, may be some options in client or server, while we'll migrating to x64 PCs?

Seshat already updated to neon^0.8 so should be completely free of this issue
