Fix the Elasticsearch install for x86_64 systems

Keeyan Nejad requested to merge fix-elasticsearch-install-x86_64 into main

What does this merge request do and why?

I was unable to install Elasticsearch on my Precision 5570 with a i7-12700H cpu on Linux, since the URL was returning a 404.

Turns out the URL should have x86_64 as the machine architecture, not amd64.

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Have an x86_64 machine (I'm running Linux but not sure if that's relevant)
  2. Move the existing Elasticsearch dir if it already exists mv elasticsearch elasticsearch.bak
  3. Run gdk config set elasticsearch.enabled true
  4. Run gdk reconfigure
  5. The install should fail on main, but pass on this branch
Before 
$ gdk reconfigure
