Running the tests on arm64 in gha currently involves nested_vms running them under qemu on x86_64 runners, which is very slow. The test suite was consistently failing to get past the default 5 min timeout on ubuntu arm hosts. This step lets you set options for puppetserver-start-timeout (and puppetserver-reload-timeout) in a Beaker options file, for example, (like acceptance/config/aio/options.rb) to work around this by updating the puppetserver defaults and systemd unit file.

workflow. Allows testing on arm64. Signed-off-by: Josh Partlow <jpartlow@glatisant.org>
Adds a shard:group[1-4] tag to each test, placing them into four distinct groups so that they can be run in parallel on separate gha instances when we're running slowly under qemu for arm64 testing. The tagging was done by a script just striping the alphabetic list of test file names. Four groupings was based on their being 225 tests, and the fastest runner in gha getting to ~70 of them before getting killed by the six hour run limit.
