On Windows, sysconfig.get_platform() checks for 'amd64' in sys.version to detect 64-bit builds. However, sys.version can be truncated (e.g., ~100 chars on clang builds), causing 'amd64' to be missing and returning 'win32' incorrectly. This fix adds sys.maxsize > 2**32 as a fallback check, which is reliable even when sys.version is truncated. Also reorders arm64 check before arm32 for proper precedence. Fixes: python#145410
Add CFBundleSupportedPlatforms key with MacOSX to the Info.plist to properly identify the Python Launcher as a macOS application on Apple Silicon systems. Fixes python#137673

Summary
This PR fixes issue #137673 where the macOS Python Launcher app was incorrectly identified as an iOS app (arch_ios) instead of Apple Chips (arch_arm) in the macOS System Profiler on Apple Silicon systems.
Fix
Added the CFBundleSupportedPlatforms key with MacOSX as the only platform to Mac/PythonLauncher/Info.plist.in:
CFBundleSupportedPlatforms
MacOSX
Without this key, macOS System Profiler (Launch Services) defaults to assuming an arm64-only app is an iOS binary. Adding this key explicitly marks the app as a macOS application.
