Use GitHub Actions native arm64 runners

[llucax]

What's needed?

Now native arm64 runners are available for public projects:

Proposed solution

Remove the nox-cross-arch jobs and just add this arch to the nox matrix.

Additional context

If we switch to the nox action, we can use something like this:

jobs:
  nox:
    name: Test with nox
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        arch:
          - amd64
          - arm
        os:
          - ubuntu-22.04
        python:
          - "3.11"
        nox-session:
          # To speed things up a bit we use the special ci_checks_max session
          # that uses the same venv to run multiple linting sessions
          - "ci_checks_max"
          - "pytest_min"
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}${{ matrix.arch != 'amd64' && format('-{0}', matrix.arch) || '' }}

    steps:
      - name: Run nox
        uses: frequenz-floss/[email protected]
        with:
          python-version: ${{ matrix.python }}
          nox-session: ${{ matrix.nox-session }}

  # This job runs if all the `nox` matrix jobs ran and succeeded.
  # It is only used to have a single job that we can require in branch
  # protection rules, so we don't have to update the protection rules each time
  # we add or remove a job from the matrix.
  nox-all:
    # The job name should match the name of the `nox` job.
    name: Test with nox
    needs: ["nox"]
    # We skip this job only if nox was also skipped
    if: always() && needs.nox.result != 'skipped'
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    env:
      DEPS_RESULT: ${{ needs.nox.result }}
    steps:
      - name: Check matrix job result
        run: test "$DEPS_RESULT" = "success"

Experiment in the SDK:

• Rewrite CI: use reusable actions, native arm and faster PR testing frequenz-sdk-python#1153

[llucax]

Note the runner names for public repos are arm and not arm64.

If we do this, we also need to update the trusted publishers in PyPI to allow publishing from the new workflow.

We also need to update the README.md build badge:

• Update build status badge frequenz-sdk-python#1171
