As github runners can be used with qemu we simply emulate the aarch64 cpu needed to build for it. This allows faster installations on tradionally weaker embedded hardware. Signed-off-by: Mimoja <git@mimoja.de>

I dont think the python 3.7 failures are due to the PR. They also pop up on the previous HEAD |

I'll rip out 3.7 support later today if my flight isn't delayed |
It's no problem to do the aarch64 as well since the shell builds happen after the release and get uploaded lazily |

first build failed. I think #285 will fix it |

Awesome. Thank you! |

Can confirm install working now perfectly fine on aarch64 musl and glibc. And it can now be installed on low memory systems which previously failed \0/ |

The full aarch64 run roughly takes 90 minutes which should be taken into consideration if it is worth the occasional but additional time investment on release.
