[Bug 2061990] [NEW] Please RM armhf binaries

[Dave Jones]

Public bug reported:

LP: #2060214 (FTBFS) was eventually resolved by disabling failing tests
on armhf to enable migration. Unfortunately, mtd-utils is the facility
used by flash-kernel (on several boards, as it's used in the "generic"
method) to flash boot artifacts to their destination.

Given that failure to flash these a successfully risks subsequent boot
failure (of a nature that is particularly difficult to resolve on
certain armhf boards), and given that we're now not certain that the
mechanism will operate correctly on armhf, please remove mtd-utils (and
its dependency, flash-kernel) from armhf in noble.
