charmcraft no longer available for `armhf`
Metadata
Current evaluation
Abandoned. Armhf support was intentionally dropped in Charmcraft 4. Charmcraft 3 retains support, so the LXD charm team will keep the last working revision but stop publishing new armhf builds.

### Bug description
The `charmcraft` snap is no longer available for `armhf` since https://github.com/canonical/charmcraft/pull/2412/changes/7a1185ee4c8b650a06d48fbe32f305de3b8f7c7b
This prevents the LXD charm from being built and published for that arch.
### Steps to reproduce
Try to install `charmcraft` on a `armhf` machine.
### Environment

### charmcraft.yaml
```yaml
