ci: introduce px4-dev container with multi arch support

[mrpollo]

Use the px4-dev container to build and publish all targets

• builds x86, and arm64 px4-dev images
  • conditional to changes in either ubuntu.sh or requirements.txt
• updates ubuntu.sh for installing under both architectures
• fixes a stringop-overflow issue with gcc > 12
• uses the px4-dev container to build the build matrix of all boards

Hi @dagar and @mrpollo,
thanks for the effort 👍

Regarding the compiler errors you guys are facing. I had the same ones when trying to use the Noble containers I created in PX4.

• Dangling Pointers
• Stringop Overflow

I had a look at the relevant code and they are false positives. I solved it by ignoring the specific false positives in the relevant files.

For the Dangling Pointers:

For Stringop Overflow:

Regarding the last failed run you posted: This seems like curl is not installed in the image.

thanks for the fix @alexcekay I pushed a commit to the libdronecan lib for the stringop-overflow error, however the remaining failures are not present anymore, hopefully it means they got fixed elsewhere!

moving to draft as i am still figuring out the best approach to building the multi platform images in ci

Wonderful thanks for the testing @afwilkin LMK when you have logs for the other platforms

Noting on here that the "actuator tab" for the NXP FCU is a bit messed up

Oh, it appears that all pins are aux 1-12.

In mainline we disabled the auto-assigning of motors 1-4 for the main pins...so this should be fine once merged in mainline

ESC calibration failing:

Although this is on QGC stable. Not sure about main

@mrpollo The only thing that was an issue was the ESC calibration failing: #24022 (comment)

we will need to flash stable and 1.16 beta to narrow down the issue
