Motivation for this change
Package "system76-firmware" build in aarch64 is failing:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/138891792#tabs-summary
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/138891792/nixlog/2
But it doesn't make sense on ARM because it's for installing firmware updates on System76 machines which are x86/amd64.
As it is broken now in aarch64 and cluttering build pipeline seems desirable to limit it to i386/amd64.
A PR with a fix for aarch64 can reverse this.
Tried to reach upstream on IRC but I could only talk to community member buzel that agreed on this approach.
Took the opportunity for a minor clean-up.
