[Bug 2019856] Re: Add missing ARM-cores to support Grace-based systems

[Mauricio Faria de Oliveira]

The autopkgtests failures in jammy seem to be of various sorts, but are
not expected to be related to this code change at all. I've skimmed
through them, and some seemed worth of retries (timeouts, network
issues, etc).

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When running "lscpu" on a Grace-based system + Ubuntu 22.04, it
  doesn't report a model name:

  Vendor ID: ARM
  Model: 0

  [Fix]

  Adding the additional arm_part to sys-utils/lscpu-arm.c solves the
  problem. The commit below adds the specific codes missing from Jammy's
  version.

  https://github.com/util-linux/util-
  linux/commit/6857cccbb4157d5da34ca98f77a0ac9d68e1e740

  [Test Steps]

  * Verify whether output of lscpu is correct on new CPUs; eg:
  Vendor ID: ARM
  Model name: Neoverse-V2

  * Verify whether output of lscpu doesn't change on old CPUs; eg:
  Vendor ID: ARM
  Model name: Neoverse-N1

  [What Could Go Wrong]

  The fix only introduces additional model identifiers to match
  against and print a model name string, thus regression impact
  should be contained within lscpu and printing cpus model name
  on ARM systems. 

  Output doesn't change on systems with non-affected CPU models.
