Feature #25215
Support for Debian on aarch64 aka arm64
Description
Version 8 of Arm architecture defined 64-bit execution state called AArch64. RedHat-based distributions (and GNU tools) use "aarch64" name for it, but Debian went (as Linux kernel) with "arm64" string. This introduced the same "schism" as happened with "x86_64" and "arm64" and has to be handled by Debian-related routines.
I propose the simplest solution for the problem, adding string substitution similar to what happens for x86_64 in relevant places. I've grepped the whole core for amd64, but if I missed anything or used wrong coding practice, I'll be more than happy to address any feedback.

Fixes #25215 - Support for Debian on aarch64 aka arm64
Version 8 of Arm architecture defined 64-bit execution state called
AArch64. RedHat-based distributions (and GNU tools) use "aarch64" name
for it, but Debian went (as Linux kernel) with "arm64" string. This
introduced the same "schism" as happened with "x86_64" and "arm64"
and has to be handled by Debian-related routines.
This change adds handling of the arm64 case in media URL generation
patch, transforming the "arch" variable strings from "aarch64" to
"arm64" and reverses the operation for facts parsing.

Fixes #25215 - Use normal string substitution for arch strings
There's no need to use global substitution for variables transformation
when preparing media (boot file) URLs. Therefore replace all gsub-s
(leftovers from old approaches to the problem) with normal subs.
