[bug#60166] [PATCH] gnu: flashrom: Fix build on AArch64.

[Simon South]

* gnu/packages/patches/flashrom-fix-building-on-aarch64.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/flashing-tools.scm (flashrom)[source]: Apply it.

This patch allows the flashrom ROM-flashing utility to build on AArch64 by
backporting a patch[0] that fixes the project's build system so it identifies
the target architecture correctly.  (Currently, trying to build the package on
aarch64-linux fails immediately with "Target arch is unknown. Aborting.")

I've tested this on x86-64 and AArch64 and everything appears fine.  On x86-64
an identical binary is produced with or without this patch applied.

+    Makefile: Fix building on AArch64 NixOS
+    
+    The parsing of the output of archtest.c produced an unexpected
+    value on AArch64 NixOS. For example, the make variable ARCH was set to:
+    
+    ```
+    bit outside of fd_set selected
+    arm
+    ```
+    
+    This made the arch and OS checks fail.
+    
+    This commit simplifies the parsing, making it more robust.
+    
+    The C files archtest.c, endiantest.c and os.h used to set the
+    TARGET_OS, ARCH and ENDIAN variables, respectively, output
+    the result of the test as the final line, so just extracting
+    the final line and removing double quoting is enough.
+    
+    This commit also fixes a bug with debug_shell lacking escaping
+    single quotes, which prevented using the single quote in the
+    debug_shell calls. It used to work by accident before this fix;
+    the line in the call happened to contain a balanced pair of double
+    quotes and lacked other characters that needed escaping, which
+    didn't break the debug_shell, but this was accidental and very
+    brittle.

To be clear, what's being backported here is an upstream commit, not a
patch from elsewhere.
