Get proper arch for default repo

currently we need to manually change the sut.ArtifactsRepo on each test that uses docker to properly point at the repo.

This means that if we forget, like we have done, we are getting the wrong arch installed and the tests will fail with weird stuff.

We need to find a way to auto change the repo used, maybe based on an ARCH env var, as that falls in line with our current CI implementation, in which everything checks that var to know what to do.

Problems:

• test platform doesnt neccesarily has to align with the VM arch, so we could run the tests for a arm64 VM from a x86 host.
• We allow overriding the sut.ArtifactsRepo so we cannot blindly erase it with whatever we want, we have to respect the existing values
• We cannot know the arch the VM platform is in, until we are connected, and by that time, we already have set the sut.ArtifactsRepo

A simple solution would be to turn the sut.ArtifactsRepo into a function that reads the env var to check if there is repo overrides and if not moves to set the default one AND checks the platform arch.
