By default, electron-builder builds a universal NSIS package when multiple archs are specified. This universal exe size is usually the sum of each individual installer.
This PR introduces a config property
buildUniversalInstaller(defaulttruefor backward compatibility)In order to build separate exe's, I needed to update the installer name template to include an arch. Unless a
defaultArchis supplied, x64 will not have a suffix appended to the file name and the other arch builds will have suffix-${arch}.electron-builder/packages/app-builder-lib/src/targets/nsis/NsisTarget.ts

Note: Only
nsistargets supports individual installers asnsis-webrequires 32 bit arch to be present in the distributable package since it automatically detects OS architecture and downloads the corresponding package file.nsis-weblogic overrides any setting tobuildUniversalInstallertotrue.Ref: https://www.electron.build/nsis.html#web-installer
