Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hardware on top of ARM architecture is getting more common in cloud and also e.g. Macs. Cloud cost efficiency is a driver too.
OCP4 is preparing for ARM architecture support.
Describe the solution you'd like
As a starting point jenkins-agents should be prepared for (intel+arm) multi-architecture builds and not only for intel/amd64 architecture.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Just use Intel.
Additional context
Multi-architecture builds might also be a good learning for the team.

Research direction
Begin by mapping the jenkins-agents build definitions and reviewing the linked ocp-on-arm issues for current AArch64 constraints. Define the supported Intel/amd64 and ARM targets, then verify that the agent builds work for both architectures and document the resulting multi-architecture setup.
