Bug description:
  [ Impact ]
  `pro attach` fails on non-amd64 systems because it attempts to enable livepatch, which is only built for amd64, and errors.

  The fix is to honor the existing "architecture" affordance which
  specifies which architectures livepatch can be enabled on.

  [ Test Plan ]
  `pro attach` on an arm64 system.

  Before the fix, it will fail while enabling Livepatch.

  After the fix, it will not attempt to enable livepatch.

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  The affordance checking code now runs before enabling livepatch. This is well-tested, but if there is an error, then the bug could reoccur in some situation.
  More likely, is that we forget to add a supported architecture to the list of supported architectures in the future - which would prevent livepatch from getting enabled on that future supported architecture.

  [ Other Info ]
  This bug occurred because we were relaxing our affordance checking before enabling livepatch - in order to allow livepatch client to be the source of truth for whether a certain kernel is supported or not. This is generally good and works for kernel versions and flavors, but interim releases and non-amd64 architectures are not supported at all, so they need to be treated specially.
