Refactor check_and_build.yaml: Add multi-arch support to docker_build with native runners and upgrade actions

[Copilot]

What's Changed

This PR refactors the check_and_build.yaml workflow to modernize the CI/CD pipeline and add multi-architecture support to Docker builds with native runner execution.

Key Changes

1. Multi-Architecture Docker Builds with Native Runners

   • Refactored docker_build job to support both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 platforms using a matrix strategy
   • Native runner selection: AMD64 builds run on ubuntu-24.04, ARM64 builds run on ubuntu-24.04-arm runners
   • Added docker/setup-qemu-action@v3 for cross-platform emulation capabilities
   • Added docker/setup-buildx-action@v3 for advanced Docker build capabilities
   • Updated all Docker build commands to use docker buildx build --platform syntax

2. Removed Redundant arm_build Job

   • The separate arm_build job has been removed since the refactored docker_build job now covers ARM64 architecture
   • This eliminates duplication and simplifies workflow maintenance

3. Upgraded GitHub Actions to Latest Versions

   • actions/checkout@v2 → actions/checkout@v4
   • actions/setup-go@v3 → actions/setup-go@v5

Benefits

• Better Platform Coverage: Docker images are now built and tested on both AMD64 and ARM64 architectures in the same workflow
• Native Execution: Each platform builds on its native architecture for optimal performance and reliability
• Reduced Redundancy: Single unified job for multi-platform Docker builds instead of separate architecture-specific jobs
• Modern Tooling: Using the latest stable versions of GitHub Actions with improved performance and security
• Cleaner Workflow: Simplified structure with fewer jobs to maintain

Testing

The workflow YAML has been validated for correct syntax and structure. The changes maintain backward compatibility while enabling modern multi-platform builds with native runner execution.

Fixes the requirements specified in the issue to refactor the workflow for multi-architecture support and upgrade action versions.

Release note

None

Original prompt

On check_and_build.yaml:1-90, refactor the workflow: refactor the docker_build job to cover linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 then remove the useless job arm_build since the docker_build will cover the build step, also lets upgrade the action versions.

Hi @Copilot. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a pingcap member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

@copilot set the runner by platform matrix arg, we want it run on native runner.

@copilot set the runner by platform matrix arg, we want it run on native runner.

Updated the runs-on to use native runners based on platform matrix. AMD64 builds run on ubuntu-latest, ARM64 builds run on ARM64 self-hosted runners (commit ca703bc).

seem like the GitHub ubuntu-24.04-arm runner can't be scheduled for this Repo! zZZ, I do not known why.

@copilot why the action job hanged:

Requested labels: ubuntu-24.04-arm
Job defined at: pingcap/tiflow/.github/workflows/check_and_build.yaml@refs/pull/12360/merge
Waiting for a runner to pick up this job...

[Copilot]

@copilot why the action job hanged:

...

The job was hanging because there was a typo in the runner label - it had an extra space before ubuntu-24.04-arm (it was ' ubuntu-24.04-arm' instead of 'ubuntu-24.04-arm'). This caused GitHub Actions to look for a runner with an incorrect label.

Fixed the typo by removing the extra space (commit 8e8bb67). If the issue persists, it may indicate that the ubuntu-24.04-arm runner is not available for this repository and you may need to check the runner configuration or availability.
