[Bug 1263756] Re: installer support for arm64

[dann frazier]

libdebian-installer_0.89 in sid has arm64 support that we'll need to
sync.

Note that this change will also fix the highbank/midway subarch
detection, so I've prepared a second MP for base-installer that fixes up
our kernel detection there as well (lp:~dannf/ubuntu/trusty/base-
installer/arm64+calxeda-subarches).

Title:
  installer support for arm64

Status in “base-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug is intended to collect the various changes needed to enable
  d-i generically on arm64. The trusty kernel currently boots on both
  the ARMv8 foundation model and inside a patched QEMU w/ KVM (though
  not the trusty qemu yet), so these seem like reasonable initial
  targets.
