[arm] support compile sonic arm image on arm server (#7285)
- Support compile sonic arm image on arm server. If arm image compiling is executed on arm server instead of using qemu mode on x86 server, compile time can be saved significantly.
- Add kernel argument systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 for upgrade systemd to version 247, according to #7228
- rename multiarch docker to sonic-slave-${distro}-march-${arch}

[ethtool]: disable unit test when building ethtool on armhf/arm64 (#7226)
Compiling ethtool from source is causing ethtool unit tests to fail on ARM Platforms.

These tests are failing: (By default netlink-interface is enabled while compiling ethtool)
Link: ([Test File Link](https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/ethtool/-/blob/debian/1%255.9-1/test-cmdline.c#L28))
```

Tested this on Local ARM Emulated Container:

```
(Docker Container Emulating ARM)
vkarri@3a03c70eed35:/tmp/ethtool$ ./ethtool 16_char_devname!
netlink interface initialization failed, device name longer than 15 not supported
vkarri@3a03c70eed35:/tmp/ethtool$ echo $?
1 (Expected 0)
vkarri@3a03c70eed35:~/ethtool$ ./ethtool 16_char_devnameee

#### How I did it
Disabled netlink-interface for ethtool. 

Even though Netlink is not available, it doesn't seem to impact what ethtool was supposed to do. In fact the older version which was in use before this PR [#5725](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5725) did not have netlink support and everything seemed to work well
