[Enhancement] Check if the CPU architecture is supported before installing #1141

Description

@DodoLeDev

Hi!
I did the error to install OpenSUSE on a device that did not have the SSSE3 CPU flag...

How did I find this problem ? Because the OpenSUSE build of Catatonit (the tini init binary for containers) was constantly crashing with an Illegal instruction error.

Before facing this error, I've had no clue that my device was unsupported, and that's why I would suggest a page in the installer that would check the CPU properties and warn the user he's going unsupported.

It should not block, but only warn: The system itself works fine, it's the tools in the official repos that may cause problems.

EDIT: From what I have seen online, only SUSE Leap requires the x86_64-v2 microarchitecture. Is it the case for MicroOS too? Or my problem comes from somewhere else?
