Title:
  Add multiarch metadata for check

Status in “check” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “check” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
