When extending/providing native packages, we must not do so with packages
that are incompatible with the HOST_ARCH because otherwise, depending on the PV,
they may override a sibling package which does support the HOST_ARCH but with
a lower PV.

To do this introduce a check for the packages DPKG_ARCH compatibility.
- For cross-target configurations, just prevent providing the extended package.
- For native-target configurations, skip the recipe altogether as the base variant
will not be compatible as well.
- Excempt the recipe skipping in case DPKG_ARCH is not set which may be the case for
  - a recipe that produces multiple debian packages with varying Architecture
    settings
  - a recipe is not suited to native/compat handling but inherits multiarch
    indirectly anyway.
