tests: Check Lintian and dpkg agree on multiarch dependency implications
Lintian intentionally has a more optimistic interpretation of what it
means to depend on foo:any than dpkg does. Strictly speaking, a dependency
on foo is not necessarily enough to guarantee that foo:any is available,
because if foo is not known to be Multi-Arch: allowed, then foo:any will
always be an unsatisfiable dependency. However, Lintian assumes that
maintainers will not add this unsatisfiable dependency, and therefore
a dependency on foo can be assumed to satisfy a dependency on foo:any.
This was done so that for packages that *are* M-A: allowed, such as
python3, a dependency on python3 from the host architecture (which is
sometimes necessary, but often unnecessarily specific) is considered to
be sufficient to satisfy a dependency on python3:any (which is a weaker
dependency that is sufficient for running simple #!/usr/bin/python3
scripts).
For all the other multiarch qualifiers, Lintian should agree with dpkg,
which is the reference implementation of these dependencies.

Test Lintian::Relation->satisfies by looping over an array
No functional change intended, but this will make it easier to confirm
that Lintian and dpkg agree.

Avoid checking for "pie executable" for detecting shared objects (Closes: #1068304)
This conditions seems to have been added due to #896840 in the commit
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/3c6c2f2d7c0598f6b1b7ed937b8d29d49f0e502c
But, since then, `file` has been updated to no longer rely on the
executable bit to determine pie executable or not in
https://github.com/file/file/commit/d653309de04ed10fdeda79f2c6ca7a7e96e122f1
IOW, the short-coming with file was fixed, and this check does not look
necessary any longer.
Instead, this seems to be triggering FP (for instance in mksh), hence,
drop this from the regex
