Description

Extracted from https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/pull/1120

Although I don't think it's common to run K8s and ARC on 32bit ARM, it would be still useful to allow runner pods on those arch, like when you run K8s and ARC in a managed K8s cluster and nodes and runner pods on your raspis.

This would require us to migrate our use of dumb-init to an init system that runs of 32bit ARM, e.g. tini.

Research direction

Start by locating the runner image build definitions and the current dumb-init usage. Check how runner images are published for architectures, then evaluate the tini migration for arm/v7 and arm/v8 runner pods. Done means the runner images support those ARM variants and start successfully without changing controller images.
