This pull request modifies the Packer code to build the Nessus AMI on a Graviton (AMD64) instance. Note that this requires moving the AMI from Debian to Ubuntu and updating the version of Nessus that gets installed.

Nessus does not support ARM64 on Debian. Newer versions of Nessus support ARM64 on Ubuntu, but not the old version that we are currently using.
