[PATCH] deb-dl-dir: specify target architecture for apt-cache lookups

['Cedric Hombourger' via isar-users]

apt-cache needs to be told for which main architecture it should check
when listing packages via "dumpavail": it would otherwise default to its
default architecture (HOST_DISTRO_ARCH when running outside of the target
rootfs vs DISTRO_ARCH when running under chroot). Use "apt-cache -o
APT::Architecture=${DISTRO_ARCH}" for a correct listing of packages known
to apt; this approach is preferred over e.g.  "sudo chroot ${rootfs}
apt-cache dumpavail" as we avoid a sudo call and avoid running apt under
qemu (slow) when the host and target architectures are different.
