nslu2.conf: change to the IPKG_ARCHS to include the correct architectures

(armv*b for all armv* suppported by the xscale processor).  The old
'generic' armeb is still suppported (of course) and, by default, this is
the ARCH of the generated packages - this is technically wrong, the
packages are actually armv5teb - but changing this would make the feeds
non-functional for existing systems.
