Allow running tests on arm64 runners

[pat-s]

builds upon #2232

NB: the change pats22/xgo:go-1.21.3 is only as long as techknowlogick/xgo#224 is not yet merged and an arm image is available upstream.

Nice ... i still want to wait until xgo has the patches merged :)

[pat-s]

Sure. Let's see how upstream goes. But a PoC was needed anyhow :)

nfpm fails :D

That issue looks unrelated AFAICS - it's not a compile issue but a missing file.

The issue is dist/server/linux/amd64/woodpecker-server" vs dist/server/linux_amd64/woodpecker-server" in the output locations.

I couldn't find a run where build-deb-rpm succeeded lately, so it might be a general issue unrelated to this PR.

Given that the xgo compiler seems working now, I think we should give it a go, i.e. deploy arm runners. There's a lot to gain/save and doing so might also help tech adding upstream support. What do you think?

I've cleaned up the PR dummy changes to make it potentially mergable.

[pat-s]

Updated images to 1.22.1.

Feedback would be great ;)

it did run on x86 right now ... let me change the autoscaler to spawn arm ... not jet but soon ish

[6543]

what we could do is to explizite lable workflows to use x86 and then cange it to arm in here ...

Certainly good for testing. But a bit of effort to do. Though I am meanwhile pretty sure the arm build fine.

@6543 A bit hard to make some progress here. I am slowly loosing motivation a bit as I can't do anything on my side anymore besides asking/pinging for external action. both here and in xgo.

If this is not important enough, we can also close it and just stay on amd64 (?).

[6543]

the only thing blocking it is techknowlogick/xgo#224

so we can just make the autoscaler more inteligent and deploy arm and only if needed by workflow (label selector) use x64

[pat-s]

the only thing blocking it is techknowlogick/xgo#224

is not blocking, there is a functional image built from this PR under my account pats22 which is also referenced in this PR and tested to work in both ways.

[6543]

well in this case we can just use that meanwhile ... just add a codecoment (todo: switch to main once X is merged...)

This is what I am trying to express since the last five comments or so 😅

Some IDEs can create a tasks tree from TODO: commends.
