Until now, rpi-base served rpi0/rpi1 + rpi2 + rpi3 all at once. The
variants were solely distiguished by the target architecture; it was
nice while it lasted, but now that rpi4 is on its way, we need to split
things up a little.
With the split,
* rpi-base depends on rpi-kernel, armv6l* only,
* rpi2-base depends on rpi2-kernel, armv7l* only
* rpi3-base depends on rpi3-kernel, aarch64* only,
To help migrate existing devices to the new base packages, rpi-base
will be an empty mega package for !armv6l* and depend on rpi2-base or
rpi3-base for the foreseeable future, thus resolving like this:
* rpi-base -> rpi2-base (armv7l*)
* rpi-base -> rpi3-base (aarch64*)
For now it's sufficient to have one package provide all subpackages, to
ease maintainance. The template can easiliy be split (as we did with
rpi-kernel) should the need arise some day.
rpi3-base actually existed back in 2017 (it depended on mainline kernel
instead of rpi-kernel) and became obsolete in 2018;
who would have known back then we may have to deal with rpi>3 some day...

At least the CMDLINE expansion did break on the printf '%s' and we
got a newline for every parameter, which is wrong.
(I'm suprised nobody noticed this, and how I not noticed this myself)
