Pull request overview

This pull request adds ARM64 (aarch64) platform support to the Ubuntu 24.04 precompiled driver container builds, while maintaining AMD64 as the default architecture. The changes enable multi-platform Docker builds and update the CI/CD pipeline to handle both architectures.

Changes:

• Added ARM64 platform support for Ubuntu 24.04 precompiled driver containers with architecture-specific package handling
• Updated CI workflow to build, test, and publish both AMD64 and ARM64 artifacts with platform-specific suffixes
• Modified Holodeck test infrastructure to support ARM64 instances (g5g.xlarge in us-west-2) and Ubuntu 24.04 OS specification

Why are we using sbsa? If I remember correctly, sbsa is specifically for Tegra-based arm64 machines
