Bug#1082516: systemd: please stop installing gdm3:armel in autopkgtests

The Debian GNOME team is in the process of removing gjs, and therefore
gnome-shell and gdm3, from armel, because the upgrade to mozjs128 has
made it impractical to support architectures whose baseline does not
include atomic operations.

systemd has a couple of autopkgtests that install gdm3 on desktop-capable
architectures, but not on s390x or riscv64. Please add armel to the list
of architectures where this is not done.

(If you would like to have these tests continue to exercise some sort
of display manager on armel, you could add something like
"lightdm [armel]" to these tests' dependencies, but that's out of scope
for this particular request.)

Thanks,
