feat: Add Linux runners for all supported architectures

This change expands the existing CI/CD pipeline to include Linux builds for all supported, non-x86-32 architectures.

The following changes were made:
- Added `ubuntu-20.04` runners for `x86_64`, `aarch64`, `ppc64le`, and `s390x`.
- Integrated the `uraimo/run-on-arch-action` to facilitate builds on emulated, non-x86 architectures.
- Updated the build matrix and steps in `.github/workflows/build.yml` to support the new runners.
- Dropped support for the `x86-32` architecture as requested.
