Use `aptman/qus` instead of `multiarch/qemu-user-static` #49

aptman/qus works on amd64, arm64v8, arm32v7, arm32v6, i386, s390x or ppc64le hosts and supports more architectures.

Paves the way for https://github.com/uraimo/run-on-arch-action/issues/28 RISCV 32 and 64 bit support.

Thanks for the PR @messense but right now I don't see any advantages in migrating to qus other than skipping the user-static installation and supporting non-amd64 host (which we don't need). Both RISC platform should be supported by qemu-user-static too. I'm not merging this for now, if I change my mind I'll recover this PR and will bring it in.

I'd like to be able to use this action on self hosted arm64 linux actions runner which is currently not possible.

From this it sounds like one advantage of aptman/qus would be the possibility to avoid installing a full QEMU package and instead only install the necessary archs. Is this something we could do here in order to speed up setup?
