Armbian support

[sairuk]

Playing around with this idea for now, notes are going to be here. Driven by my RPI3B+ tanking when testing dreampi and my looking at creap replacement sbc options (orange pi)

seems like most of their 'supported' images are ubuntu based so we'd have to handle package naming which we'd planned to do anyway.

some devices have a bullseye image available so arguably it'd work oob

this looks like Jammy support is now complete, all the tested playbooks either run or have had conditions added.

install_fenrir-ode-web-server fails to build software

this now built OK without any changes

install_nbd-client fails but this is just a larger problem of grep returning 1 and ansible seeing that as a failure so it should affect all distros
