feat: support foreign architectures for core24
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged PR #5274 expanded core24 cross-compilation by allowing package-repositories and build-package entries for any supported architecture, fixing #5222 and #4542.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #5274 was merged after approval by two reviewers. Its change removes the prior compatible-architecture restriction and explicitly identifies #5222 and #4542 as fixed.

Improves cross-compiling support for core24 snaps.
Previously, cross-compiling only worked for compatible architectures (`amd64` <-> `i386`, `arm64` <-> `armhf`). This restriction has been dropped so `package-repositories` and `build-package` entries can define entries for any supported architecture.
Fixes #5222
Fixes #4542
