Bug Description

[ SRU TEMPLATE ]

[Targets]
* focal
* bionic

[Impact]

 * This will enable ARM bootable buildd for those suites as well.

[Test Plan]

 * Verification can be done manually with a build from -proposed.
 * build image using ubuntu-bartender or livecd-rootfs from $SUITE-proposed
 * manually check image by running via qemu on an arm64 system. ensure it does successfully boot
 * manually register the image with multipass on an arm64 system

[Where problems could occur]

 * As it is a new architecture for a build, there is definitely a chance of differences between Ubuntu versions. However, it only has the possibility of affecting buildd arm64 images.

[Original Bug]

The merge available here:

https://code.launchpad.net/~saviq/livecd-rootfs/+git/livecd-rootfs/+merge/417034

This doesn't affect anything existing, just adds a new architecture for the bootable buildd images, used through Snapcraft in Multipass. No impact on Ubuntu.

Having those images will allow Snapcraft to build arm64 snaps with `base: core22` as soon as that's available.

I've tested the image under Multipass on Apple M1, which will be the primary beneficiary.

I've tested `livecd-rootfs` from Focal proposed. It was a basic test to ensure that

1. arm64 was selectable for buildd, and built
2. that a sample build from CPC was unaffected

I did this by

1. downloading the source package : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/2.664.44
2. unpacking locally
3. using https://github.com/ubuntu-bartenders/ubuntu-old-fashioned to run a buildd. command i used (utilizing an AWS based builder)

bartender --hook-extras-branch focal --livecd-rootfs-dir /home/jchittum/dev01/troubleshooting/various-livecd-rootfs/2.664.44/livecd-rootfs --aws-arm-build --aws-keypair-name jchittum-cpc-jenkins --no-cleanup --aws-profile jenkins -- --series focal --project ubuntu-base --image-target all --subproject buildd

for the buildd

4. build completed
5. ran a CPC build to ensure it was unaffected
bartender --hook-extras-dir ~/dev01/cloudware/cpc_packaging.extra --livecd-rootfs-dir /home/jchittum/dev01/troubleshooting/various-livecd-rootfs/2.664.44/livecd-rootfs --aws-arm-build --aws-keypair-name jchittum-cpc-jenkins -- --series focal --project ubuntu-cpc --image-target oracle

6. Oralce build ran fine and I was able to boot it locally.
