Since we're updating the tune file format, it makes sense to abstract
the compiler tune arguments at this point too. This means that should
these need to be overridden at any point, the original values can
still be obtained in a similar manner to the other TUNE* variables.
Whilst this isn't strictly necessary for any current need, its likely
good practise to standardise this behaviour.

There is currently consideradble confusion over how the tune files operate
and how these interact with the rest of the build system. This update/overhaul
changes things so the tune files are primarily resonsible for setting:
TUNE_ARCH - What was formerly set as TARGET_ARCH and is the value that
represents the architecture we're targetting.
TUNE_PKGARCH - The value that represents the tune confuration that this set
of tune parameters results in.
This allows the significant improvement that the core can now always determine
the target architecture value, even when TARGET_ARCH needs to be reset to
something different and likewise, there is one package architecture variable
the core can reference allowing simplification of the BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH, PACKAGE_ARCH
and FEED_ARCH variables.

There is a problem with the current PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS implementation
since its impossible to control which extra architectures sort higher
than TARGET_ARCH and which sort lower. In the x86 case for example,
TARGET_ARCH might be "i586", i486 should be lower than this and i686 should
be higher. There are also complications where its easy to inject duplicate
entries into the variable.
I tried various versions of this patch and concluded that it was simplest
just to force the tune files to include TARGET_ARCH in the list in the
right place if they're planning to customise it themselves. Other approaches
with appends and prepends just complicated the code for no good reason.
The TARGET_ARCH definitions should also move to the tune files but I'll
leave this for a separate patch.

This gets us closer to making including tune-<arch>.inc "just work".
Moving the TARGET_ARCH definitions is something for a follup patch.
