RFC: reduction of i386 build to a lib-only version

systemd has grown support in its buildsystem (meson) to filter non-executable targets, this should allow us to reduce the footprint of our i386 build. Ubuntu's i386 port is a partial architecture only, and we don't need systemd's executables on this arch, but rather just the (public) libraries, which might be needed by certain consumers.

Context and initial work by @bluca can be found here: https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/merge_requests/158

This is a RFC to discuss the next steps on this approach within Ubuntu.

Notes:
* My final commit on the branch ("d/rules: Fix missing files on i386 dh_install") still seems a bit hacky and we should try to avoid this.
* We should analyze the build-depends and filter the ones we don't need for this build, using "[!i386]"
