Only enable JIT by default on x86-64
* acinclude.m4: Disable JIT by default on not-x86-64. Although I got
JIT mostly working on 32-bit x86, I got nondeterministic segfaults
deep in lightning, on that platform; perhaps indicating a bug in the
optimizer. After a day of poking and not solving the problem, I think
that I don't want the complexity of Lightning's node representation,
especially on platforms that get less testing. In the future we'll
use the lightning backends without the node layer.
* NEWS: Update.
