Xenomai has two mutually exclusive cores:
- Cobalt: dual-kernel approach: patched kernel + userland
- Mercury: only userland

In the Cobalt core, not all architectures are supported. This is the source
of the existing ARCH_SUPPORTS variable.

In the Mercury core, there is no imposed architecture restriction.

Rename the XENOMAI_ARCH_SUPPORTS flag to XENOMAI_COBALT_ARCH_SUPPORTS and
move its check from the Xenomai package to the Cobalt core.

The patch looks good, but it needs more testing. Because it lifts all
the architecture dependencies, one can now try to build Xenomai for
funky architectures/configurations, and it doesn't always work. For
example, building with our br-arm-cortex-m4-full configuration fails
with a pthread_atfork issue.

I think this requires running a test-pkg run to check a couple of
architectures/configurations.

Thanks!

Thomas
