TCL needs 'multiarching' so that it has co-installable libraries and
config scripts for packages to cross-build with. e.g sqlite3, but in
fact anything with tcl language bindings (45 packages build-dep on
tcl8.5, and 65 on tcl-dev).

The attached patch provides such mutiarchification, by:

qEssentially the .so and .a libs, and the tclConfig.sh config script are
all moved into multiarch directories in the existing tcl8.5-dev and a
new tcl8.5-lib package for the runtime library. Both these packages are
Multi-Arch: same and thus co-installable.

All the other files remain in the tcl8.5 package, although there may be
arch-specific files in there which should move? That package is MA:
foreign as tcl is able to run scripts in an arch-independent fashion.

This has been tested for armhf and arm64 cross-building and seems to
work OK.
