    Agreed it's not necessary to have the isXXX methods.
    However it makes the user code shorter and simpler.
    
    Currently the code is:
    
    ```
    Processor processor = ArchUtils.getProcessor();
    if (ProcessorArch.BIT_32.equals(processor.getProcessorArch())) {}
    if (ProcessorType.PPC.equals(processor.getProcessorType())) {}
    ```
    
    It would become:
    
    ```
    Processor processor = ArchUtils.getProcessor();
    if (processor.is32Bit()) {}
    if (processor.isPPC()) {}
    ```
    
    As well as being longer, in the first case one has to remember to whether 
to use ProcessorArch or ProcessorType
