[sonic-restapi] ARM architecture not supported

[dflynn-Nokia]

Description

The sonic-restapi module currently seems to be only applicable to the 'amd64' architecture.
As part of the ongoing effort to support the ARM platform architecture, sonic-restapi should also be provided for ('armhf' and 'arm64').

Here's the results when attempting to build sonic-restapi for 'armhf'
Note the result of building sonic-rest-api_1.0.1_amd64.deb instead of sonic-rest-api_1.0.1_armhf.deb
I am building within the sonic-buildimage 202012 branch.

@sumukhatv , @xumia for viz

[zhangyanzhao]

Feature gap, need be handled in future release if effort is too big.

[dflynn-Nokia]

Sorry for being late to join this week's triage meeting.
Please note that this is not urgent but it would be good to finish off our SONiC support for ARM

[Blueve]

@xumia Do we have any plan to enable this module in arm platform?

[xumia]

Fixed on master branch, it will take some time for release manages to cherry-pick the PR to 202012/202106/202111.
