this can be used to define special platform-specific support things, like extra packages, a device tree, and cmdline. This allows creating live isos that support generic arm64 UEFI as well as ones that require special care (like the x13s)
recent qemu updates mean we don't need to hardcode the binfmts, as they are shipped as files generated by qemu, importable by update-binfmts. ref: void-linux#386
but don't use it for everything, as some things seem a bit broken with mklive specifically closes: void-linux#322
aarch64 is full of special cases that void-installer doesn't know about, especially for real platforms. Users should just do chroot installs for now.
also simplify environment prep and fix qemu dependencies the matrix should ensure we never run out of space while building unfortunately, github limits us to 10 inputs so we can't add a selector for live iso platforms

aarch64 test images: https://devspace.voidlinux.org/abby/aarch64-live/
build-x86-images: rename to mkiso
this name is no longer accurate, so let's make it a bit more descriptive
mklive, mkiso: support aarch64
adds support for building aarch64 isos, and for cross-building
mklive, grub: add support for "platforms" in live isos
this can be used to define special platform-specific support things, like extra packages, a device tree, and cmdline. This allows creating live isos that support generic arm64 UEFI as well as ones that require special care (like the x13s).
Each platform is defined in
platforms/and currently can add additional packages, set a dtb to use (which is then copied from the rootfs during build), and/or add kernel cmdline argumentsThis change has no effect on x86_64 and i686.
