always use elfclass64 format to support x86_32pae.
Without this patch xen dump-core format can't handle over 4GB case.

I don't think no tools but xc_ptrace_core is aware of the new
xen dump-core format so that it is safe to change from ELFCLASS32
to ELFCLASS64.
ELFCLASS64 for x86_32 might seem to be odd, but it's widely used.
The recent Linux kdump adopts ELFCLASS64 as default even
for non-pae x86_32. (At least development tree version does so.)
