The main change to the Dockerfile here is the switch to the USER directive. sudo in buildx builds generally causes errors when running Docker on linux.
The builds with buildx are super slow, so I am not 100% happy with the current build workflow for this image in particular. Ideally we need to split this into building on native platforms and combine the manifest, but for now this current solution may work.
Note: The browsers variant does not build for arm64, only amd64, due to a limitation with selenium server. We will address this in the future, once arm64 support is rolled out to the majority of images
Description
Add arm64 support to the cimg/python image by using buildx to build multi arch images.
The majority of the work actually lives in the cimg-shared repo which is where the build commands are generated:

Reasons
To build multi architecture images and allow cimg/python to run on arm64 natively
