[Bug 1881980] Re: add riscv64 support

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

** Description changed:

- add riscv64 support
+ [Impact]
  
- such that we can build ubuntu-focal base tarballs, buildd tarballs, and
- eventually core20.
+  * Cannot build ubuntu-base riscv64 tarball for focal
  
- HW enablement
+ [Test Case]
  
- as a test case one can attempt to build buildd tarball only, and it
- should progress a bit longer than current failure. however that still
- needs livecd-rootfs fixes to succeed in focal.
+  * Execute ubuntu-base riscv64 tarball build for focal
  
- it works in groovy.
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * live-build changes affect livefs building, thus the risk is that they
+ are missbuilding. There are no point releases soon, and we have plenty
+ of dailies to notice anything going wrong. The change is scoped for
+ riscv64 architecutre only
