grub-efi-arm and grub-efi-arm-bin are not currently installable for armhf images. This leads to build failures for in the disk-image-uefi.binary in the ubuntu-cpc image.

the future of UEFI booting armhf cloud images is currently in question, with possibilities including:

1. removing VM images entirely for armhf (due to lack of hardware support)
2. keeping a Bios booting VM available for armhf (need to check booting on appropriate devices, such as an older Raspberry Pi)
3. fixing grub-efi-arm and grub-efi-arm-bin and re-enabling UEFI booting armhf cloud images.

In the short term, removing armhf from the list of supported architectures results in skipping the hook.

### Testing

The required change must be tested with a Launchpad built livecd-rootfs.
