Subject: [PATCH] Bail out if architecture isn't set nor can be identified
 automatically

If `dpkg --print-architecture` isn't available for detecting the current
architecture (e.g. on non-Debian), and neither $ARCH is set nor `--arch
...` was specified, abort and inform user about it.

Closes: grml/grml-debootstrap#173
