The GOARCH and the GOARM environment variables being provided were conflicting: if we are using arm64, then GOARM is ignored. If we really wanted v7, then we should use GOARCH=arm and GOARM={5, 6, 7}. See: https://go.dev/wiki/GoArm for further documentation on ARM.
To align the development environment to what we actually ship through OBS, I have been more explicit on using arm64 v8, which is the latest version from the ARM family of microprocessors. I also thought on allowing this to be configureable, just in case a developer wanted to mess with older ARM devices, but we actually introduced some 64-bit dependencies when we added magic numbers like BTRFS_SUPER_MAGIC.
Because all of this, I have added further comments just in case we decide to go the extra mile for this architecture in the future.
