Add a CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE_ID variable
Compilers such as MSVC and IAR may have variants that target different architectures. We have been using a `MSVC_<LANG>_ARCHITECTURE_ID` variable to hold this information for MSVC. Add an alternative with a more general name (later we can port MSVC to it too). This additional information may be needed to generate proper invocations of the compiler based on its architecture variant.

+CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE_ID
+-------------------------------------
+
+An internal variable subject to change.
+
+This is used to identify the variant of a compiler based on its target
+architecture. For some compilers this is needed to determine the correct
+usage.
