Proposed changes

Reduces packaging time for releases considerably by building only the binaries we need, one for each supported architecture (amd64 + arm64). These binaries are then packaged using nfpm as normal.

To generate the required nfpm configuration files I have implemented a string substitution step which copies the current nfpm.yaml and replaces the string ^BUILD_PATH^ with the appropriate build path for the respective architecture.

This will result in our binaries having consistent checksums which will be added to the assertion documents generated by the security team's workflows.
