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

The field is optional and should only be used when just single architecture is supported.
It may provide redundant information when used in a GPT partition with a GUID type that already
encodes the architecture. If this is not the case, the architecture should be specified in
e.g., an extension image, to prevent an incompatible host from loading it.
