Bug#841118: libva FTCBFS: perl build dependency unsatisfiable

libva fails to cross build from source, because its build dependency on
perl is unsatisfiable. It seems that libva only uses perl as a build
tool, so it should be requested for the build architecture instead of
the host architecture and thus annotated with :any. After applying the
attached patch, libva cross builds just fine.
