[Bug 2057776] [NEW] ubuntu-cpc project remove armhf vm images until grub2 armhf fixes in place

[John Chittum]

Public bug reported:

grub-efi-arm and grub-efi-arm-bin are not currently installable for
armhf images. This leads  to build failures for  in the disk-image-
uefi.binary in the ubuntu-cpc image.

the future of UEFI booting armhf cloud images is currently in question,
with possibilities including:

1. removing VM images entirely for armhf (due to lack of hardware support)
2. keeping a Bios booting VM available for armhf (need to check booting on appropriate devices, such as an older Raspberry Pi)
3. fixing grub-efi-arm and grub-efi-arm-bin and re-enabling UEFI booting armhf cloud images.


In the short term, removing armhf from the list of supported architectures results in skipping the hook.

### Testing

The required change must be tested with a Launchpad built livecd-rootfs.
