This is the patch that get rid of ARCH=i386 and ARCH=x86_64

It touches several files but the changes are all one or two-liners.

      x86: drop backward compatibility symlinks to i386/boot and x86_64/boot
      kbuild: sanity check the specified arch


IMO it negatives impacts the workflow when you -remove- the ability to set 32/64-bit on the make command line.

Building and testing for both architectures now requires the additional step of editing .config, which is a clear workflow negative impact at least for me.

I switch between other cross-compiled arches (alpha, usually) on the makefile command line

Yes, I know other 32/64-bit arches require .config editing. That doesn't change the basic fact that this is a workflow regression.
