deb: resolve cross pkg-config against the target multiarch
CI / build (push) Successful in 2m54s
CI / test (push) Skipped
CI / snap (push) Successful in 4m32s

In-tree tools locate their libraries with the *host* pkg-config during
cross builds (the kernel's tools/build feature checks derive their
cflags/ldflags from 'pkg-config --cflags/--libs'), whose search path
only covers the build architecture's pkgconfig dirs. Cross builds of
linux-riscv died in rtla's Makefile.config: libtraceevent/libtracefs
were reported missing although the riscv64 -dev packages were
installed, because pkg-config never saw their .pc files.

The host-arch -dev packages that used to make those checks pass came
from the unscoped arch-indep build-dep pass, whose native
re-resolution b34e86d correctly scoped to the host arch — removing the
accidental co-install along with the bug it papered over. Export
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR for the target multiarch instead, so the checks
resolve target-arch libraries directly: no native build-dep bloat and
no wrong-arch linking.
