19f3896 build: Fix x86_64 <-> arm64 cross-compiling for macOS (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Currently, on master (111c3e0), dependencies are built for the build system architecture, not the provided host.
On Intel-based macOS Big Sur 11.6.1 (20G224):
```
% make -C depends HOST=arm64-apple-darwin20
% lipo -info depends/arm64-apple-darwin20/lib/libsqlite3.a
Non-fat file: depends/arm64-apple-darwin20/lib/libsqlite3.a is architecture: x86_64
```
On M1-based macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559) the `boost` package building fails with multiple errors like that:
```
% make -C depends boost HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin19
...
error: option 'cf-protection=return' cannot be specified on this target
error: option 'cf-protection=branch' cannot be specified on this target
2 errors generated.
```
This PR allows to cross-compile as follows:
- on Intel-based macOS Big Sur 11.6.1 (20G224):
```
% make -C depends HOST=arm64-apple-darwin20
% lipo -info depends/arm64-apple-darwin20/lib/libsqlite3.a
Non-fat file: depends/arm64-apple-darwin20/lib/libsqlite3.a is architecture: arm64
% CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/arm64-apple-darwin20/share/config.site ./configure
% make
% lipo -info src/qt/bitcoin-qt
Non-fat file: src/qt/bitcoin-qt is architecture: arm64
```
- on M1-based macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559):
```
% make -C depends HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin19
% CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin19/share/config.site ./configure
% make
% lipo -info src/qt/bitcoin-qt
Non-fat file: src/qt/bitcoin-qt is architecture: x86_64
```
No behavior change for other builder-host pairs.
This is an alternative to bitcoin/bitcoin#22506.

ACK 19f3896 - this is definitely cleaner than the approach in #22506. I've tested the x86_64 -> arm64 and arm64 -> x86_64 cross-compiles. Going to go-ahead and merge this given it's scoped to building for darwin targets, on darwin. Not sure if this is something we'll actually see used very often.
