Bug Description

I was testing the new CentOS 8 image in the MAAS CI. I selected all available machines and deployed the image. CentOS 8 is only available for amd64 but my selection included PPC64 and ARM64. MAAS tried to deploy the AMD64 image on PPC64 and ARM64. Because MAAS uses the Ubuntu ephemeral environment to deploy non-Ubuntu images it actually went through the entire deployment process and only failed on time out waiting for CentOS 8 to come back up.

MAAS should error when trying to deploy an image with a different architecture than the machine.
