Restore and improve cross/native dependency type reporting

If we aren't cross-building, this distinction isn't very interesting

(Most dependencies didn't bother reporting this. pkgconfig did it
unconditionally, and Qt reported as 'native' or 'cross' depending on
is_cross_build(), i.e. ignoring the native: keyword)
