codebuild: use custom arm linux image from external Docker registry

[viktorhaid]

Describe the feature

Today you can use a custom x86 image from an external registry as a CodeBuild build image using the method codebuild.LinuxBuildImage.fromDockerRegistry.

But class LinuxArmBuildImage lacks this method.
It would be great if this class could also implement the method fromDockerRegistry, so we can use our own custom arm images, e.g.

const project = new codebuild.Project(this, 'MyProject', {
  environment: {
    buildImage: LinuxArmBuildImage.fromDockerRegistry('ghcr.io/...:latest'),
    computeType: codebuild.ComputeType.SMALL
  }
});

Use Case

I want to be able to use a custom arm linux image from external docker registry as a CodeBuild build image.

Both, the AWS Management Console and CloudFormation support it, but it is not possible when using CDK.

Currently we are stuck having to use Cloudformation for our arm compatible pipelines.

Yeah I guess we can add this method to LinuxArmBuildImage. Any PR submission on this is more than welcome.
