  A number of APIs in macostools cannot work in 64-bit mode because they
  use Carbon APIs that aren't available there.

  This patch disables tests for the affected entrypoints in macostools and
  mentions this in the documentation.

  In theory it is possible to replace the implementation by code that does
  work in 64-bit mode, but that would require further updates to the Carbon
  wrappers because the modern APIs aren't wrapped properly.
