What does this MR do and why?
Adding the new Arch type in order to support containerized GDK-in-a-box setup on an ARM-based system.
This MR extends the CI pipeline to also build and publish container image for linux-arm64 platform architecture. Currently, the openbao binary is built for darwin-arm64, linux-amd64 and darwin-amd64.
Why is this platform architecture type important?
This is one part for fixing a GDK-in-a-box issue described here
The containerized GDK-in-a-box is one of the recommended ways to contribute to GitLab. This setup is based on a Debian Linux image. When running the GDK-in-a-box container on an ARM-based system (e.g., M-series MacBook), the operating system (OS) and architecture pair is linux-aarch64 or linux-arm64. Currently, none of these OS-ARCH pairs exist.
Having a pre-built openbao binary for this OS-ARCH type is helpful when running tests in the GitLab monolith project. Without the pre-built openbao binary, the test runtime would need to clone and compile openbao locally, see here for more details. With an openbao binary for this OS-ARCH type, we could simply download the binary, thus reducing complexity.
