[Bug 1101069] [NEW] Add multiarch metadata for check

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Wookey (wookey):

This package needs to be marked 'Multi-Arch: foreign' for
dependencies and build-depencies to work correctly in all cases.

Any package 'X' build-depending on check cannot be cross-built
because apt-get build-dep -a<arch> cannot satisfy X's
build-dependencies until

Multi-Arch: foreign

is added to check's control file, to indicate that check from
any available arch will satisfy the dependency. (Is is actually the
case that check will always work correctly across architectures - it
looked like it to me but I am not familiar with its operation, so
maybe there could be problems? It worked OK in local tests for the
arm64 bootstrap).

There are 114 packages which can't be cross-built until this change 
is made.
