Fix: multiarch build by using crosscompilation

Use quay.io/centos/centos:stream9 with the –platform=$BUILDPLATFORM flag,
in this case the image is pulled for the builder host's current architecture.
The BUILDOS and BUILDARCH args are used to download the right go binary for
the build platform.
Cross-compilation occurs in the builder image using TARGETOS and TARGETARCH build arguments to determine the target OS/arch.
These args are set automatically by the multiarch-build process (with docker buildx).
The final container image (registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal) is pulled for the correct target architecture, such as amd64 or arm64.

This update fixes support for multiarch builds and speeds up image building, as cross-compilation is faster than compiling on a non-native platform.
