Differenciate between armv6 and armv7 #174
Description
As commented at nodejs/node#13629 (comment), there's no way to differenciate between armv6 and armv7 prebuild images, all of them have the arm arch. One solution we could implement here is to allow to set armv6 and armv7 as arch, being arm an alias for one of them, probably the simpler one (armv6) this is alike the situation with GCC compiler were targeted just as x86 for broadest compatibility, being first an alias for i386, later i486 and now i686.
For this to work on prebuild, new binaries would need to be uploaded with the de-aliased arch. Then, prebuild-install would try to download first the de-aliased arch too, and if it finds a 404 error, try to download the aliased one (arm) in case it's an old prebuild image.
