vlib: startup multi-arch variant configuration

Support for startup node multi-arch variant selection through startup.conf.
This is to facilitate unit, functional testing and benchmarking of non-default
multi-arch variant node code path. Also added parameters to make test, to
specific using multi-arch variants in unit testing.

Type: improvement
