Bug Description

When checking the "wrong architecture" for an application with the App Checker,
the results are very confusing. "No ELF executables were found", for example.
We should warn if we find ELF executables for other architectures than the one
we're built for, instead.

This sounds obscure, but can come up when, for example, you're testing on
x86_64, and the app you're testing is an x86 app. In one case, I was testing
the so-called "64-bit" version of an app (Skype), and got this confusing
result. (The "64-bit" version was basically the 32-bit version in a package
claiming to be 64-bit.)
