fix(oci): render arm64 platform description without redundant v8 (#783)

- Omit the redundant `v8` variant for arm64 when rendering
  `description`, so equal arm64 platforms always describe as
  `linux/arm64` — matching how Docker and containerd display
  the platform. Other variants (`arm/v7`) and architectures
  (`amd64`) are unaffected.
- Only the rendered `description` changes. The stored `variant`
  and the `Codable` encoding are untouched, so OCI content
  digests remain stable.
- Closes apple/container#1542 (normalization-consistency aspect).
