slackware_multilibmultilib process and considerations

Slackware 15.0 is the last release to need multilib, Slackware64-current only requires the -compat32 packages.

Multilib is required when programs need 32bit libs.

- Slackware 15.0 and earlier
- wine
Slackware64-current
- GOG games (eg.: This war of mine, Pixel piracy, Spacechem)
- wine no longer needs multilib.
