[Bug 1923832] [NEW] Provide generic preinstalled images for armhf, arm64, amd64

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

Provide generic preinstalled images for armhf, arm64, amd64

They should broadly look like ubuntu-cpc cloud image, however they
should be

1) RAW .xz compressed disk images
2) use linux-generic, instead of linux-virtual
3) have CIDATA partition with sample datasource files that one can modify
4) have nocloud data source to allow login with ubuntu:ubuntu & change password on first login
5) have ESP

These are very useful for plugfests, booting from a usb-stick / hard-
drive in place, on bare metal machines.
