chroot-tools: Drop support for CHROOTARCH
This only existed to work around a compatibility-breaking change in
the Linux kernel. `uname -m` for MIPS-64 little-endian changed from
"mips64el" to "mips64". This meant that all existing packages' CARCH
was no longer == `uname -m`, so we had to de-unify the two, as we
couldn't do `setarch $CARCH`.
I'm removing this kludge because:
- We no longer actively support MIPS.
- Until two commits ago, it didn't work anyway
- We should avoid this on new architectures going forward (ARM,
anyone?)
- It's gross.
