Support cross platform builds

Add support for cross building the following platforms:

- `linux/386`
- `linux/amd64`
- `linux/arm/v6`
- `linux/arm/v7`
- `linux/arm64`
- `linux/ppc64le`
- `linux/s390x`

To build for a different platform other than the local native platform the
`qemu-user-static` package must be installed.

Example to build AMD64, ARM64 and ARMv7 platforms:
```
make PLATFORM="linux/amd64 linux/arm64 linux/arm/v7" all-images
```
