["shell/test", "script"]: support target architecture

... provided it is specified on how to obtain a remote-execution
endpoint for the given architecture; in this case, the test (script
and) dependencies will be cross compiled for and run on that
architecture. The actual building (as well as summarizing multiple
test runs) happens on the default execution end point.
