Prevent installation of apps for arm

Certain apps cannot be installed on ARM, why? Because the
authors do not provide support.

k3sup is not about ARM, it's about being able to install any
compatible app to any compatible Kubernetes cluster, with
Intel aka PC aka "normal computers" being the default target
of most cloud software.

 You can install [openfaas](https://github.com/openfaas/faas) for Kubernetes in a single command, it will detect whether you're using a Raspberry Pi or a regular computer.
 
+> What does "PC" only mean? It means that you cannot install the app to a computer running an ARM processor. For instance, Istio has no support for ARM, only Intel aka PC.
