Issue body
### What needs to get done
Turn the [prototype](#149) from [issue 104](#104) into production code and merge to main.
This includes:
* add unit tests
* add an integration test
* decide on the cutoff - do we only support 24.04 and newer? Or if it the system has an `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources`?
* release of craft-archives
### Why it needs to get done
To support cross-compiling in *craft applications.
