main/alpine-base: Tweak /etc/issue to avoid incorrect English

Andrea Bolognani requested to merge abologna/aports:tweak-issue into master

Currently the message displayed above the login prompt on virtual consoles looks like this:

Welcome to Alpine Linux 3.21
Kernel 6.12.8-0-virt on an x86_64 (/dev/ttyS0)

The "on an $arch" part results in correct English for some of the supported architectures (e.g. x86_64 and aarch64) but not for some others (e.g. riscv64 and loongarch64).

Tweak the message so that correct English is produced regardless of the architecture.
