We need to support the "arch" tag in the UI.

Also need to actually filter based on the current user environment. The needs to

* by default, only show features that can be installed on the user machine
* via check, show all features (regardless of target type)

Core needs to

* by default, only install plugins/ non-plugins that match the user environment
* via check (passed from UI or accessed in some other way), for install of all 
plugins/ non-plugins regardless of target type)

For 2.0 we do not support "custom selection (ie. only what matches user 
environment, or all).

PS: may be useful to have the "matching" check implemented once as core API 
(likely on feature, pluginentry, nonpluginentry)

Implemented as follows:

1) Search is now environment-sensitive unless unchecked in 'Scope Settings' 
group. Features that do not match the current BootLoader settings are skipped.

2) Updates View has a filter that is on by default and that filters out 
features that do not match BootLoader settings (unless they have environment 
settings left undefined).
