[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/2] kvm-unit-tests: Fix x86_64 to use host compiler

kvm-unit-tests requires a multilib compiler for x86_64 as it compiles
32bit boot code.

This patch uses the BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER option to enforce
this and avoids using TARGET_CROSS for x86_64 targets and uses the host
32bit (and 64bit) capable compiler.
