Describe the bug
When reviewing Mark's thorough PR to add arm64 arch support, I was surprised at the amount of places we have processor arch here were two of the surprises:
src/common/misc/InstallationFunctions.C
Many of these look very old and we are missing new ones (ppc64le)
I think this was used to download new versions of VisIt from the GUI.
I don't think that is supported well, so maybe we don't need this function anymore?
https://github.com/visit-dav/visit/blob/develop/src/test/tests/unit/launcher.py
In this case, maybe there isn't much to suggest. I guess we could provide a Python API call that lists all the valid archs.
Related but already resolve:
We had an issue with launch on rzansel that was due to ppc64le case missing.
