Add a --with-arch-flags configuration option to specify target architectures.

They allow the user to specify flags to indicate the target
architecture(s) (yes, possibly plural - think, for example, Mac OS X)
for which we're building.  Those might need to be used not only when
compiling, but also when linking and when building a shared library.

This is not for general cross-compiling, it's for use on platforms where
versions of the native OS support more than one instruction set and
where you want to build for the OS on which you're running but not for
the default build architecture on the machine on which you're running.

This may currently be less useful for tcpdump, as tcpdump currently
builds no libraries, but it's there for compatibility with libpcap.
