Add arch/encoding metadata to DB + Fetch Arch Linux x86_64

Browse source 
The encoding metadata will be very useful in finding badly decoded man
pages. The package 'arch' is necessary to properly identify which
package was used, which is not obvious now that I'm going to switch more
systems to the (more common) x86_64 arch.

Only packages for a single architecture (i386 or amd64) are scanned. To my
knowledge, packages that come with different manuals for different
architectures either don't exist or are extremely rare. It does happen that
some packages are not available for all architectures. Usually, though,
every package is at least available for i386/i686, so hopefully we're not
missing out on much.
