Allow grammar for `package-repositories`
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to support architecture-conditional grammar for apt repository URLs, enabling amd64/arm64 builds with deb-src; it remains open and untriaged with no comments or implementation evidence.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is open, has no labels, and has zero comments, so it has not received maintainer triage. Its body clearly identifies the URL field, provides amd64/else examples, and explains the deb-src multi-architecture failure, but repository inspection found no grammar-specific resolving change and package repositories are still passed through the existing craft-application path.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
Allow us to use grammar for at least the url field of `package-repositories`.
### Why it needs to get done
If I want to enable `deb-src` and build a rock for both amd64 and arm64, I need something like this:
```
package-repositories:
- type: apt
formats: [deb, deb-src]
components:
- main
- restricted
- universe
- multiverse
suites:
- questing
url: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
key-id: F6ECB3762474EDA9D21B7022871920D1991BC93C
- type: apt
formats: [deb, deb-src]
components:
- main
- restricted
- universe
- multiverse
suites:
- questing
url: http://ports.ubuntu.com/
key-id: F6ECB3762474EDA9D21B7022871920D1991BC93C
```
But this then causes issues with apt because the architecture isn't available.
It would be nice to be able to say:
```
package-repositories:
- type: apt
formats: [deb, deb-src]
components:
- main
- restricted
- universe
- multiverse
suites:
- questing
url:
- to amd64: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
- else: http://ports.ubuntu.com
key-id: F6ECB3762474EDA9D21B7022871920D1991BC93C
```
