Add Chrome to Linux/arm64 browser images

[MikeMcC399]

What would you like?

Add Google Chrome to Linux/arm64 browser images if / when this browser becomes available for arm64 on Linux.

An alternative might be Chrome for Testing in the future. This browser is however currently not supported by Cypress (Edit: support added in cypress@13.17.0.) It is however not available in an arm64 variant.

Why is this needed?

Chrome is needed on Linux/arm64 to complement the availability on Linux/amd64 Cypress Docker images.
