The nightly snap build fails with `snapcraft remote-build`'s
`BadRequest()`: it force-pushes Gitea's full history to a fresh
Launchpad repo each run and creates the recipe before Launchpad has
indexed the `main` ref. The race is unwinnable at Gitea's repo size, and
Canonical does not support `remote-build` in CI.
Build locally on native amd64 + arm64 runners with
`snapcore/action-build` + `snapcore/action-publish` instead — no
Launchpad, no race. Drops the `LAUNCHPAD_CREDENTIALS` secret (publishing
keeps `SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS`); the `snap/` recipe is unchanged,
so the same snaps ship to `latest/edge`.

Launchpad no longer builds `core24` snaps for `armhf`. Since `snapcraft
remote-build` submits a single request for all platforms, the `armhf`
rejection fails with `snapcraft internal error: BadRequest()` and takes
the `amd64` and `arm64` builds down with it, so nothing gets published.
Dropping 32-bit ARM from `snap/snapcraft.yaml` and the workflow's
`--build-for` restores nightly snap publishing for the remaining
architectures.
The `release-nightly-snapcraft` workflow’s `build-and-publish` job was
failing because `snapcraft remote-build` fell back to interactive
Launchpad authorization in CI. This change makes authentication explicit
and non-interactive before the remote build step.
- **Workflow change**
- Add an `Authenticate snapcraft` step before `Remote build`.
- Run `snapcraft login --with` using the existing
`SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS` secret.
- Pin that step to `shell: bash` to support process substitution.
- **Why this fixes the failure**
- Prevents CI from entering browser-based Launchpad auth flow.
- Ensures `remote-build` runs with preloaded credentials.
```yaml
- name: Authenticate snapcraft
shell: bash
env:
SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS: ${{ secrets.SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS }}
run: snapcraft login --with <(printf '%s' "$SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS")
```

The secret is added to the repo already.
Right now this only publishes commits to main branch to the
"latest/edge" snap channel, but if this is successful we can add more
workflows/logic to be able to publish RCs/fully tagged versions too.
