[quake3] win64 support

[James Lacey]

Since you say there is a code freeze, I will post the patch to Bugzilla. You
guys can use the patch in the future as a basis for Win64 support or not as
you see fit.

Personally I did not apply the patch because a) we have (in theory)
code freeze and I cannot verify it doesn't break the Win32 build
which must work for the release, b) statements like in the following
paragraph suggest that the patch is still incomplete.

Works fine on Linux.

To check whether interpreter and dll loader work you need to start
ioq3 like this (need to copy *dll to baseq3/ first of course):
ioquake3.exe +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set sv_pure 0 +map
q3dm17
resp.
ioquake3.exe +set vm_cgame 1 +set vm_game 1 +set vm_ui 1 +set sv_pure 0 +map
q3dm17

\vminfo in the console should report 'native' in the first case and
'interpreted' in the second.
