Add update instructions for x86_64 WRT utmp format

Commit 983c4d5188f8a7eb00766e3b3e89b218899a3a08 changed the utmp format
on x86_64 hosts to be 32bit compatible. Mention this fact and hint
x86_64 users that they will have to wipe their utmp file upon upgrade.

+    o On x86_64 the format of /var/run/utmp changed compared to previous
+      versions. To retain compatibility with glibc we now define
+      __WORDSIZE_COMPAT32. If you are certain that you will never use
+      glibc nor run in i386 mode on your x86_64 installation, you can
+      remove this definition from wordsize.h.
+      Otherwise you have to delete /var/run/utmp on x86_64 hosts when
+      upgrading to 0.9.31
