env2mfile: Base cpu on DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU unless DEB_HOST_ARCH is special

`DEB_HOST_ARCH` encodes both the CPU family and the OS, so using it to
get the CPU type gives the wrong answer for non-Linux ports.

However, `DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU` gives less detailed information about the
CPU: it's `arm` for all 32-bit ARM CPUs, and doesn't distinguish between
the differing baselines of `armel` (ARMv5 softfloat) and `armhf`
(ARMv7 hardfloat).

When cross-compiling for x86_64 Linux, this changes the `cpu()` from
`amd64` to `x86_64`, which is consistent with the answer we get during
native builds on that architecture.

When cross-compiling for `ppc64el`, this changes the `cpu()` from
`ppc64el` to `ppc64`, which is a reasonable change but is still not
consistent with what we see during native builds (which is `ppc64le`):
see #13741 for that.

Resolves: #13742
