linux uses amd64 always, since arm64 build uses qemu for sp1, we can run the amd64 version without issue.

This works because ARM builds depend on docker/setup-qemu-action for the SP1 dependency to work.
We can take advantage of this by using the amd64 version of the binary on Linux (which is also compiled statically) for the ARM version as well.

Motivation
This PR changes the ARM build environment from Ubuntu 24.04 to Ubuntu 22.04.
The goal is to compile Ethrex with an older glibc, increasing compatibility with systems running older Linux versions.
It also updates how Solidity is handled. Since
solcdoesn’t publish ARM binaries, we previously used a third-party ARM build that required a newer glibc, breaking builds on Ubuntu 22.04.Now,
solcis compiled from source and cached. This ensures it links against the same glibc version as the 22.04 system, allowing Ethrex to build and run on environments with lower glibc versions.Description
solcis built from source and cached to match system glibc.
