snapcraft remote-build validation error for long-form architectures syntax; likely fixed by PR #4793/craft-application PR #343

Suggested action: close not a bug

Reason: This issue reports a validation error with the long-form architectures syntax in snapcraft remote-build. A related issue (#4780) was closed as fixed via PR #4793 and craft-application PR #343, which corrected how snapcraft handles architecture definitions and build targets. Given the 1292-day age with no activity and the resolution of the related issue, this appears to have been addressed.

Issue body

This in the recipe: ``` architectures: - build-on: amd64 build-for: amd64 - build-on: arm64 build-for: arm64 - build-on: armhf build-for: armhf - build-on: ppc64el build-for: ppc64el ``` triggers, this: ``` Issues while validating snapcraft.yaml: The 'architectures[0]' property does not match the required schema: additional properties are not allowed ('build-for' was unexpected) or orderedDict([('build-on', 'amd64'), ('build-for', 'amd64')]) is not of type 'string' ``` Which conflicts what the documentation says: <https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/architectures/4972#heading--core22>
