Docs: Add guide for multiarch snaps
Metadata
Current evaluation
Docs request for a multiarch guide. Questions were answered in comments and are now covered by docs/explanation/platforms.rst, reference/platforms.rst, remote-build, and a cross-compiled-app how-to.
Suggested action: close resolved
Reason: All four questions are now answered by in-repo documentation: docs/explanation/platforms.rst explains one-snap-per-arch build plans, build-on/build-for cross-compilation and Launchpad build heuristics; docs/reference/platforms.rst documents `build-for: [all]` (arch-independent snap) plus 'Supported CPU architectures' for local and Launchpad builds; docs/how-to/integrations/craft-a-cross-compiled-app.rst and docs/explanation/remote-build.rst cover cross-building and CI. This matches maintainer dilyn-corner's pointer to reference/explanation architecture pages and the reporter's 'Addressed, at least partially' reply, and the follow-up rewrite commit 88b36a7d6 ('docs: rewrite platform docs', PR #6069) resolved the duplication he flagged.
