using advanced grammar to build towards a certain arch does not work with stage-snaps

Current evaluation
Cross-architecture stage-snaps fail due to missing UBUNTU_STORE_ARCH variable in snap download calls
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no comments, and no maintainer response after 1303 days. While it describes a legitimate problem with cross-architecture stage-snaps requiring UBUNTU_STORE_ARCH to be set, the lack of engagement and age means it needs reassessment to determine if it's still relevant or has been addressed in newer versions.

Issue body
trying to build a snap using a foreign arch stage-snap like i.e. the pi gadget (so one does not need to cross compile the already existing binaries) seems to be missing the UBUNTU_STORE_ARCH variable set for the "snap download" call in snapcraft, so the snap is reported as not found...
while it is solvable through an override hack, it would be nice to be able to just do something like:
```
to: arm64
stage-snaps:
- pi
```
but instead something like below is required:
