Cross-build release-archives w/ arch in filename
Fixes #11417 Cross-building the podman-remote documentation requires a functional native architecture executable. However `make` only deals with files/timestamps, it doesn't understand if an existing binary will function on the system or not. This makes building cross-platform releases incredibly accident-prone and fragile. A practical way to deal with this, is via multiple conditional (nested) `make` calls along with careful manipulation of `$GOOS` and `$GOARCH`. Also, when cross-building releases be kind to humans and cleanup any non-native binaries left behind. Update the `Alt Arch. Cross` Cirrus-CI task to build release archives for all Linux architectures supported by golang and podman. Update the `OSX Cross` task to additionally build for the M1 (arm64) architecture. Finally, update the release process documentation to reflect the new locations (Cirrus-CI task names) for the release archives. Include a note about additional manual work being required to produce the signed `.dmg` file for MacOS. Signed-off-by: Chris Evich <cevich@redhat.com>
