daemon: Allow building for armhf-linux on aarch64-linux.

Browse Source 
* nix/libstore/build.cc (canBuildLocally): Allow building armhf-linux
builds on aarch64-linux.
(DerivationGoal::runChild) Throw error if attempting to build for
armhf-linux on an unsupported platform.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix build): Document how to build natively
for armhf-linux on aarch64-linux.  Add note that on some aarch64
machines this is unsupported.

An example use of this is on Linux-based systems, which can emulate
different personalities. For instance, passing

@code{--system=i686-linux} on an @code{x86_64-linux} system or
@code{--system=armhf-linux} on an @code{aarch64-linux} system allows you
to build packages in a complete 32-bit environment.
@quotation Note
Building for an @code{armhf-linux} system is unconditionally enabled on
@code{aarch64-linux} machines, although certain aarch64 chipsets do not
allow for this functionality, notably the ThunderX.

Similarly, when transparent emulation with QEMU and @code{binfmt_misc}
is enabled (@pxref{Virtualization Services,
@code{qemu-binfmt-service-type}}), you can build for any system for
