arch: allow adding a suffix to the arch-part of a tuple

For some architectures, it is legit to have an alternate value in the
'architecture' part of the tuple. For example:
armv5te-*
armv7a8-*

Besides, some packages expect the tuple to reflect the arch variant
(eg. openMPI) to detect the variant's capabilities (eg. atomic
primitives).

This patch adds an option for the user to specify a suffix to be added
to the arch-part of the tuple.
