[PATCH 1/3] kbuild: deb-pkg: do not query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH

From: Masahiro Yamada

Since commit 491b146d4c13 ("kbuild: builddeb: Eliminate debian/arch
use"), the direct execution of debian/rules fails with:

dpkg-architecture: error: unknown option 'DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH'

I am not sure how important to support such a use case, but at least
the current code:

dpkg-architecture -a$DEB_HOST_ARCH -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH

... looks weird because:

- For this code to work correctly, DEB_HOST_ARCH must be defined.
In this case, DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is likely defined, so there is no
need to query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in the first place. This is likely
the case where the package build was initiated by dpkg-buildpackage.

- If DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is undefined, DEB_HOST_ARCH is likely undefined.
So, you cannot query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in this way. This is mostly
the case where debian/rules is directly executed.

If we want to run debian/rules directly, we can revert 491b146d4c13 or
add code to remember DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH, but I chose to remove the
useless code for now.
