feat: quickget should detect or allow specify the host architecture when fetching iso #916

Description

Expected behaviour

I'm on Apple MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon M1 chip. When running 'quickget' to fetch the iso, it doesn't detect the host architecture and attempt the fetch one that works on the host, and appear to favor x86_64/amd64 iso.

Supporting command line argument allowing user to specify the preferred architecture would also be a good option.

Actual behaviour

Seems to favor x86_64/amd architecture.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

❯ arch   
arm64

❯ quickget --show-iso-url ubuntu 22.04
https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/ubuntu-22.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso

Quickemu output

See above.
