(FACT-3436) Revert Debian ARM architecture change #2636

Conversation

The os.architecture fact has historically resolved differently for Debian for x86 and x86_64 to use Debian's architecture convention, i.e. using i386 and amd64, respectively.

We attempted to continue that convention for AARCH/ARM prior to official Puppet support for Debian on ARM in #2621. However, Debian-based Ubuntu on ARM has been officially supported by Puppet since 2021 and this change to os.architecture has the potential to break existing code.

This change reverts changes made in #2621 and #2627 to return Facter to its prior behavior of the os.architecture fact resolving to aarch64 on Debian.

This reverts commit bc5a529.

This change caused too many breaking changes with platforms already
supported by Puppet; namely, Ubuntu on ARM.
