Add a way to run a spread test on only certain architectures
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to enable architecture-specific spread test filtering; arm64 system still commented out in spread.yaml. Triaged by maintainer, Jira ticket CRAFT-5055 created, no further activity in ~5.5 months.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is labeled 'Status: Triaged' and 'Type: Enhancement', was authored by maintainer lengau, and has an internal Jira ticket (CRAFT-5055). The ubuntu-24.04-arm-64 system remains commented out in spread.yaml, confirming the feature is unimplemented. At 168 days old with triage acknowledgement, it falls within the 6-month window and should remain open.

Issue body
### Bug Description
Because all craft test systems end up just declaring the distribution and version, there's no way to set a task.yaml file to only run on a specific architecture.
### To Reproduce
Consider this testcraft test: https://github.com/canonical/craft-application/blob/4a58068490abd7027a824c91851c2a2e7c76a58e/tests/spread/testcraft/different-architecture/task.yaml
### part yaml
```shell
n/a
```
### Relevant log output
```shell
n/a
```
