[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/qemu: separate user and system arch on powerpc64le

QEMU provides a single system emulator that supports both powerpc64
and powerpc64le with a target called 'ppc64-softmmu', but it provides
a different usermode emulator for each one (with targets
'ppc64le-linux-user' and 'ppc64-linux-user').
Due to this asymmetry it is not possible to support both cases with
the single arch value used in the package file. This patch introduces
an additional value into the package configuration,
HOST_QEMU_SYS_ARCH, so that both cases can be supported.
Fixes commit d2ff457e88ff4106f97e29516d467978827d30c2
and autobuilder failture

Hi Buildroot,
I saw that host-QEMU had again failed to build on powerpc64le, so I've
taken a another look at the failure and I think I've fixed it properly
this time. After the patch I'm able to build both the system and
usermode emulators (for the host) on both powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
The commit message should explain what was going on.
Sorry for the churn :-(
Cheers,
Sam.
