Clarify that VirtualBox guest utilities only work in 32-bit virtual machines

two whisperback reports pointed that virtualbox-guest-utils does not work anymore since Tails 2.6. There was an upgrade of the package (now 5.0.24), but maybe it was not enough to work with linux-image-4.6* because le logs are saying :

amnesia virtualbox-guest-utils[1746]: Starting VirtualBox AdditionsNo suitable module for running kernel found ... failed!
