Summary

Some IPMI implementations on arm64 are reportedly unable to load
our memstick installer images, but support the older ISO format. Start
generating these for arm64.

Unlike installers ISOs on other platforms, these images are UEFI-only.

Event Timeline

So far the images generated are bootable, but the bootable image header is incorrectly labeled "BIOS", rather than "UEFI" which may be causing the images to be unrecognized on certain firmware. I'm not sure yet if there is a bug in makefs.

Let's commit this for now... there's lots of refactoring to be done in release later on.
