Daniel Hilst 7b450d7c08 test(xcat-dep): the aarch64 regression skips its image checks in CI ...

t/aarch64_target.t was added with the aarch64 build target and no workflow step
ran it. Adding the step alone is not enough: the four checks that run the spec's
own grub2-mkimage command skip unless the arm64-efi grub modules are installed
and the tool is on PATH, and both were missing on the runner.

Debian and Ubuntu name the tool grub-mkimage, so looking only for the EL name
skips exactly where the suite runs. The test now resolves either name and
substitutes it into the spec's command.

grub-efi-arm64-bin is Architecture: arm64 and cannot be installed on the amd64
runner, but the modules in it are target code, so the workflow extracts the deb
from ports.ubuntu.com instead of enabling a foreign architecture, and fails when
the extraction yields no modules.

Measured in an ubuntu:24.04 container with the workflow's own steps: the
upstream test reports 4 skips, `# skip grub2-mkimage or the arm64-efi grub
modules are not installed`, and this one reports 0 with all four image checks
passing. The workflow also runs t/aarch64_cross_build.t.
