sysext: introduce ARCHITECTURE field to match host architecture
When an extension image has binaries they should match the host
architecture. Currently there is no way to specify this requirement.
Introduce an ARCHITECTURE field in the extension's release file that
may be set to prevent loading on the wrong host architecture.
Since this new field is introduced late, we don't want to make
specifying it mandatory as it would break existing sysext images.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/24061
