Finally linuxArm64 support 🎉

@hfhbd What do you use Linux ARM 64 for? Desktops/laptops, or something else?

Desktop, mostly with docker on macOS. Now the images doesn't need to use Rosetta.

What do you use Linux ARM 64 for?

Although you haven't asked me buuuut 🙂 : I have a (simple) command line application based on clikt and ktor-client, and sharing a common API with a server it communicates with. It will be nice when I will be able to provide a Linux ARM64 compatible binary as well (although the main priorities are the Windows x64 and the Linux x64 targets).
