ARM64 support

[BojanZelic]

Have some rasberry pi's I was planning on running this on but the image doesn't have arm64 support. Adding support should be as simple as using docker buildx

docker manifest inspect quay.io/samba.org/samba-operator:v0.4

{
        "schemaVersion": 2,
        "mediaType": "application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json",
        "config": {
                "mediaType": "application/vnd.oci.image.config.v1+json",
                "digest": "sha256:20295910427b9d52d2e6777585154a630bb7b276306983dc5c77a80d9bab2a11",
                "size": 7632
        },
        "layers": [
                {
                        "mediaType": "application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+gzip",
                        "digest": "sha256:a032f50e22ae11b241fcf38b4a787f0e51009578eedaf9d05894f5f38fd12af5",
                        "size": 37718602
                },
                {
                        "mediaType": "application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+gzip",
                        "digest": "sha256:c9467e3d8012e3d28ef1a251c8f2be9b564344bf155056d7ba2ab89dc8502e86",

                }
        ],
        "annotations": {
                "org.opencontainers.image.base.digest": "sha256:3e313209ac617a92b50350286752311d99ea2dafc429ef0e5311889294b0bc21",

        }
}

Just wanted to add a vote for arm64 support.

I've built an arm64 image, available here, though I'd recommend anyone needing one to just roll their own. I just made some minor tweaks to the Makefile then built and pushed it using the provided instructions, then updated the nodeSelectors in the config.

The next problem is that somehow none of the other samba images are arm64 either, so I'm slowly going through building them all as well...very tedious:

quay.io/samba.org/samba-server
quay.io/samba.org/samba-metrics
quay.io/samba.org/svcwatch

smbmtrics is written in golang, so it should be rather simple to build it for arm64

FWIW the issue with the samba-server images is not that it can not be built for arm64, but that we can not automate it. I have built arm64 images before with podman on x86_64 machines successfully. If folks are interested enough in arm64 support I'd like to have participation over in samba-containers ... even if folks just volunteered for help testing the images, it would be nice.
