New remote-build fails with some architecture definitions

[mr-cal]

Bug Description

Snapcraft does not handle some definitions of architectures for remote builds and fails immediately with no error or explanation.

It's possible that other variations of architectures: will fail too, so we should add a set of regression tests.

To Reproduce

snapcraft remote-build

Environment

n/a

snapcraft.yaml

name: test-snap
version: '0.1'
summary: test
description: test

grade: devel
confinement: devmode

base: core22

architectures:
  - build-on: arm64


parts:

Relevant log output

I've also seen failures without architectures(or platforms) in the .yaml. With, for example,

snapcraft remote-build --launchpad-accept-public-upload --build-for armhf

(Which works for Miriway, but not for several of canonical's Mir based projects. Not spotted what the significant difference between these is.)

Also:

This works: snapcraft remote-build --build-for riscv64

This does not: snapcraft remote-build --build-for amd64,riscv64,arm64

snapcraft 2.8.4 appears to have fixed some cases. canonical/mir#3369 builds mir-libs for a matrix of core{22,24}, {amd64,armhf,arm64). The only one failing now is core24,armhf

Running locally, doesn't retrieve any build results to investigate further
