Also search the LICENSE file in lib64/pythonX.Y (#1382)
Several Linux distributions including Gentoo, Fedora, openSUSE put things in lib64/pythonX.Y instead of lib/pythonX.Y on 64bit architectures (x86_64, aarch64, etc.). This was already respected via the fix_lib64() function, however when virtualenv was searching for Python LICENSE, it was not. Now is the lib64/pythonX.Y patch searched as well and unlike fix_lib64() no checks need to be made, as the patch are tested in sequence. See https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/1352#issuecomment-510500384
