Pre-build packages for other platforms

[davnn]

Hi, I was recently trying to convert a project from x86 to arm64 and noticed that this package is not yet built for arm64.
I quickly researched the options on how to compile for the different platforms, but did not find a best practice example with maturin. I think it is possible to build the packages with QEMU on Github Actions, which I'm currently trying to implement.

Pull request should follow shortly.

For Linux platforms I have seen cross-compiler examples, too. Probably using this (which contains maturin):

Btw, I don't know if you have seen the new "fastermsc" algorithm in 0.4 that optimizes medoid Silhouette instead of the total deviation. For some applications, this may be the better objective function (ratio nearest to second nearest instead of distance to nearest).

I think I found a nice solution, see the pull request.

Not yet, I'll look into it 👍
