Consider building x86_64 using build-arch and transforming build into a controller job #826

Capturing some discussions with @dustymabe. Currently, the build and build-arch jobs are very similar. Where they differ is that the build job has extra logic for handling OSTree archiving, build-arch job and release job triggering (and rerun logic), and the build-arch job has the remote session stuff.

For a while, we've discussed building x86_64 using the same code as the other arches. We could do this by teaching the build-arch job to build for x86_64 (this doesn't necessarily imply using a remote builder, but it'd be simpler if it were). Then, all the business logic around e.g. early multi-arch forking, reruns, the release job, etc... would be captured in the build job, which is now more of a controller job that spawns the other jobs and monitors them. The outside interface for the build job would probably not change much.

This ideally would allow us to reduce complexity around locks and races and make unified reporting easier.
