The proposal to merge ~andersson123/autopkgtest-cloud:proposed-package-images into autopkgtest-cloud:master has been updated.

Commit message changed to:

fix: cloud: make create-nova-image-with-proposed-package up to date

This commit introduces a new mechanism of loading creds for the
aforementioned script, given that we now use a wider variety of
datacentres, and this script was last updated nearly 5 years ago.

This script also adds two new dependencies to the cloud-worker charm:
- qemu-user-static
- binfmt-support
These are required for the script to execute bash commands on vm's on a
different arch to the host VM - i.e. on arm64 from an amd64 host.

It also modifies the mechanism in which the desired package is installed
from proposed, and does away with the sed line that existed before.

create-nova-image-with-proposed is a script, which hasn't been used in
*quite* a while, which rebuilds one of our adt images, with a specified
package from proposed.

We had to use this recently when the version of base-files in the
release pocket was breaking our tests, but the version of base-files
in the proposed pocket would fix said issue.
