improve ordering of rescued packages (LP: #1895106)

The console output as well as the generated files are non
reproducible due to a set being used when iterating the auto-included
packages.

Converting that iteration to a sorted list makes the output stable from
one executuion to another in the created files as well as the console
output.

report architecture of unknown dependencies

Since the deprecation and partial removal of i386 it is more and more
common that we miss out on packages on i386.

As of today cjwatson changed the sample run we generally look at
to use amd64 by default but for the final component mismatch it will
still seed all architectures as can be seen in the joint log at [1].

It will be helpful to see on a given error line which architecture
triggered a given Unknown dependency without scrolling up/down to check
which sub-run that is.

Before:
? Unknown server-ship package: lftp
? Unknown dependency default-mta by logcheck
After:
? Unknown package lftp for seed supported-misc-servers on arch i386
? Unknown dependency default-mta by logcheck on arch i386

Both kind of warnings turned out to be often misleading as one would
usually have checked amd64 and wondered as things clearly were there.
