Bugfixes

- Made the sync workflow robust with respect to upstream package indices containing packages with a wrong architecture.
[422](https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/issues/422)
- Changed the release file publication behaviour of the APT publisher to prevent a design clash with apt-secure.
You may set PUBLISH_RELEASE_FILE_LABEL and PUBLISH_RELEASE_FILE_VERSION to True to revert to the old behaviour.
[443](https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/issues/443)

Misc

- Reworked the sync handling for upstream repos using `No-Support-for-Architecture-all: Packages` format.
This was needed to avoid clashes with the new arch filtering introduced in [422](https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/issues/422).
