Allow inline nfpm to build AIX rpms if/when that gets added about goreleaser HOT 1 OPEN

After being educated about how to fix direct builds with NFPM, I attempted to implement the same changes in our .goreleaser.yaml file and received the following errors:

  • starting release...
  ⨯ release failed after 0s                  error=yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 256: field platform not found in type config.NFPM
  line 258: field arch not found in type config.NFPMRPM

Looking at the code, I see the relevant structs here:

These structs do not contain the relevant fields that need passed to nfpm.

Here is a snippet from my nfpm.yaml where these are present and working:

name: "aix-somefile"
arch: "ppc64"
platform: "aix7.2"
version: "1.0.0"
vendor: Company
maintainer: Company Maintainer Email
description: Package Description
homepage: https://some-url.com
rpm:
  arch: ppc

Specifically, the platform and rpm/arch (not standalone arch) lines.

I assume that rpm/arch is being set automagically from arch, however I need the ability to override it for AIX because AIX ppc64 rpms expect rpm arch set to ppc. Linux ppc64 arch rpms expect rpm arch set to ppc64. This means we can't (without major modifications) use the already built in override capabilities in the nfpm code.

I'm not sure if platform is being set anywhere, but if it is I would guess it is set from the os. Again, I need to override this because the os is aix and the platform has to follow the pattern of aix#.#, such as aix7.2 in order to work.
