#62715 new enhancement

Add the supported_archs field to port info

Description

With the current collective work on arm64 ports, it could be useful to have the port info command output the supported_archs and build_arch fields.

That way, we could easily check which ports are available for x86_64 and/or arm64, and determine what still needs to be ported/tested ;-)

port info is supposed to show port information that a user might care about. Users shouldn't need to care about supported_archs; ports should just work regardless of their supported_archs or print an error message explaining why they cannot be installed. Developers care about supported_archs and many other things that they can discover by looking at the Portfile.

build_arch is a macports.conf setting. It doesn't belong in port info.
