pmbootstrap aportgen: replace arch=all with native

As I'm resolving the 32-bit breakage on postmarketOS edge, I see failing armv7/binutils-aarch64 etc. packages (timeout). So let's get rid of them.

Packages like binutils-*, busybox-static-*, gcc-*, grub-efi-*, musl-* are only needed for the native architecture during cross compilation. Don't bother with trying to build them for other arches to save time and to avoid getting stuck frequently at "armv7/binutils-aarch64" etc.

• Close: #1930 (closed)
• Related: build.postmarketos.org#72 (closed)

CI is expected to fail because of missing 32-bit packages.

I don't like dropping support for building on aarch64, we just recently got a patch from a user running pmbootstrap on their PineBook Pro - and ARM laptops are just getting more common. So NACK from me

I've rebased on master, adjusted the tests to pass and added this to the commit message:

A few people like to use pmbootstrap on aarch64 hosts (e.g. PineBook
Pro), so let's make it available for aarch64 again when we can build
aarch64 packages natively in CI and bpo. (They do get stuck there right
now, because of qemu user emulation.)

@z3ntu, @MartijnBraam: please take another look.

The pmaports are already being generated with this change since the MR was opened (as it was necessary to unblock bpo for 32bit arm arches)... so in my opinion we should merge it.

Merging with one approval, as this has been open for three weeks already and it's trivial.
