The DSP and our implementation mixes Debian terminology with CPU terminology. It uses arm64 which is a Debian thing instead of aarch64, but x86-64 which is a CPU thing instead of amd64. Add some convenience and transparent aliasing, so that we don't need to maintain architecture-specific and tool-specific translation layers in mkosi among other places, while at the same time the DDIs still look the same (ie: the partlabel does not change depending on which alias is used, the canonical label is used on disk).
