leaking_addresses: use system command to get arch
Currently script uses Perl to get the machine architecture. This can be erroneous since Perl uses the architecture of the machine that Perl was compiled on not the architecture of the running machine. We should use the systems `uname` command instead. Use `uname -m` instead of Perl to get the machine architecture. Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding <me@tobin.cc>
