As I suspected, this is really a docker-related and not a
charm++-related problem.

If I pass the --privileged command line argument to 'docker run',
charmrun works, because docker then allows calling the setarch utility.
However, I need to run tests during 'docker build' and not 'docker run',
and the docker folks do not seem to be going to allow --privileged for
'docker build' in the future due to security considerations.

So I just put in a work-around to my build system that allows overriding
the runner from charmrun to mpirun and that is an okay work-around for
this problem and also useful in general.
