so the Alex Ivy viewer will reset caches.
We have some evidence that the cache content is tied to ADDRESS_SIZE, so
asking a 64-bit viewer to process 32-bit cache content is problematic.
Specifically, append (32) or (64) to the four-part version number stored in
the registry entry used to detect whether this viewer has already been
installed. This is injected as a new VERSION_REGISTRY NSIS variable.
(It was tempting to simply change the value of VERSION_LONG with the embedded
address size. However, there is one other use of VERSION_LONG in the NSIS
template. That use is the subject of MAINT-7533.)
Synthesize the VERSION_REGISTRY value in viewer_manifest.py and add it to the
substitution dict used to populate the NSIS template.
ADDRESS_SIZE isn't passed into viewer_manifest.py, but it can be inferred from
the existing 'arch' parameter: 'arch' as well as 'platform' is used to select
the specific subclass of the ViewerManifest class to instantiate for this run.
Add an appropriate address_size attribute to every such subclass.
Change a couple existing tests on 'arch' to tests on self.address_size instead
-- clearer to the maintainer.
Also, given that subclass selection mechanism, the ViewerManifest base class
shouldn't need if / elif tests on 'platform'. Make build_data_json_platform a
class attribute as well, removing the base-class stanza that dynamically
examines 'platform' and 'arch'.
Similarly, move platform-specific tweaks to the build_data_dict used to
populate build_data.json into a new finish_build_data_dict() method overridden
by individual platform subclasses.
Encapsulate the logic around running the Windows code-signing tool into a
sign() method, and call it as needed. For obtaining environment variables with
fallback values, use os.environ.get() instead of os.path.expandvars() with
tests on the returned value.
