kbuild, deb-pkg: support overriding userland architecture

Usefull if building for sparc64 userland, because the sparc and sparc64 userlands use the same 64-bit kernel, making it impossible to always select the correct userland architecture for the resulting debian package. Might also be usefull, if you want a i386 userland with a amd64 kernel. Example usage: make KBUILD_DEBARCH=i386 deb-pkg

54KBUILD_DEBARCH
55--------------------------------------------------
56For the deb-pkg target, allows overriding the normal heuristics deployed by
57deb-pkg. Normally deb-pkg attempts to guess the right architecture based on
58the UTS_MACHINE variable, and on some architectures also the kernel config.
59The value of KBUILD_DEBARCH is assumed (not checked) to be a valid Debian
60architecture.
