Currently we mark our kernel source packages as Arch=any all, despite
the content of the package is specific to the architecture and possibly
machine and other aspects. While the machine and other variables that
influence the content of the package should be encoded in the kernel
name, the architecture should align with the machine arch.

We now make the package architecture specific by avoiding any Arch=any
identifier in the control file. This results in having
Architecture: ${DISTRO_ARCH} all in the generated .dsc file. The same
applies to the custom kernel modules.

A special case is the "linux-kbuild-${KERNEL_NAME_PROVIDED}-
${DISTRO_ARCH}-cross" package, which is specific to the BUILD_ARCH, as
it contains host tooling binaries for the host, which are derived from
the target specific kernel.

Ensuring that we do not generate multiple kernel packages with different
content but the same name (e.g. from different machine configs or image
variants like prod / debug configs) will be done in later commits.
