Why I did it

Cherry pick #7731 to 202106 and fix code conflict

Support to build armhf/arm64 platforms on arm based system without qemu simulator.
When building the armhf/arm64 on arm based system, it is not necessary to use qemu simulator.

How I did it
Build armhf on armhf system, or build arm64 on arm64 system, by default, qemu simulator will not be used.
When building armhf on arm64, and you have enabled armhf docker, then it will build images without simulator automatically. It is based how the docker service is run.

Docker base image change:
For amd64, change from debian:to amd64/debian:
For arm64, change from multiarch/debian-debootstrap:arm64- to arm64v8/debian:
For armhf, change from multiarch/debian-debootstrap:armhf- to arm32v7/debian:
See https://github.com/docker-library/official-images#architectures-other-than-amd64
The mapping relations:
arm32v6 --- armel
arm32v7 --- armhf
arm64v8 --- arm64
