In order to complete bionic verification, I worked around bug 2004437 by
disabling Secure Boot. I then hit bug 1936857. I then worked around
*that* by installing efibootmgr.

After getting everything upgraded, I rebooted on the new shim w/o an
issue. I then rebooted again, re-enabled Secure Boot, and verified that
mode worked fine as well.

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
  I couldn't figure out why the alternative wasn't being updated to the new shim after I installed a kernel installed w/ a 2022 key. Turns out its because we hardcode shim*x64* in the kernel hook:

  ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ grep x64 /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-shim
  if update-alternatives --query shimx64.efi.signed | grep "Best: /usr/lib/shim/shimx64.efi.signed.previous" -q; then

  There also seems to be a number of residual x64 references in the postinst:
  ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ grep x64 /var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.*
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst:	for efi_arch in x64 aa64; do
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst:			update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed shimx64.efi.signed /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed.latest 100
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst:			update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed shimx64.efi.signed /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed.previous 50
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst:			update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed shimx64.efi.signed /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed.latest 50
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst:			update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed shimx64.efi.signed /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed.previous 100
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst:	if update-alternatives --query shimx64.efi.signed | grep "Best: /usr/lib/shim/shimx64.efi.signed.previous" -q; then

  [Test plan]
  Install a kernel signed with 2022 key on arm64, make sure that shimaa64.efi.signed alternative points to latest

  [Where problems could occur]
  Added/changed code could potentially break stuff on amd64.
