Steps to reproduce
Take the following Dockerfile
FROM openSUSE/tumbleweed
RUN zipper --non-interactive install curl libicu htop vim && \
zipper clean --all
RUN bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/master/tools/install-powershell.sh)
and build it with:
docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 --tag latest --load .
Expected behavior
A docker image with installed PowerShell for linux/arm64.
Actual behavior
The build fails because the install.sh script downloads PowerShell for amd64 instead of arm64.

Research direction
Start with tools/install-powershell.sh, then reproduce the issue using the supplied Dockerfile and docker buildx command for linux/arm64. Check how the script determines the architecture and downloads the release archive. Done means an arm64 image installs the arm64 PowerShell binary instead of the x64 archive.
