Add native ARM64 GitHub Actions runner support

[Copilot]

trafficstars

This PR implements native ARM64 GitHub Actions runners to replace QEMU emulation for better performance and reliability.

Changes Made

🚀 Docker Image Builds (push-image.yml)

• Before: All builds ran on ubuntu-latest with QEMU emulation for ARM64
• After: Native builds using appropriate runners:
  • AMD64 builds: ubuntu-latest
  • ARM64 builds: ubuntu-24.04-arm64
• Removed: QEMU setup step (no longer needed for native builds)
• Result: Faster, more reliable ARM64 Docker image builds

🧪 Testing & Validation (build.yml)

• Before: Tests only ran on ubuntu-latest (AMD64)
• After: Matrix testing on both architectures:
  • ubuntu-latest (AMD64)
  • ubuntu-24.04-arm64 (ARM64)
• Result: Comprehensive cross-platform testing ensures code compatibility

Key Benefits

• 🏃‍♂️ Performance: Native ARM64 execution vs emulated builds
• 🔍 Coverage: Testing on both AMD64 and ARM64 platforms
• 🛠️ Maintenance: Cleaner workflows without QEMU complexity
• 🔮 Future-ready: Uses latest GitHub Actions ARM64 runners

Technical Details

The changes use GitHub's native ARM64 runners (ubuntu-24.04-arm) which provide:

• Better performance than QEMU emulation
• Native ARM64 instruction execution
• More reliable builds for ARM64 Docker images

Impact: Minimal changes (8 additions, 8 deletions) with no breaking changes to existing functionality.

Fixes #1922.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• api.github.com
  • Triggering command: node download.js (dns block)
• api.nektosact.com
  • Triggering command: act --list (dns block)
  • Triggering command: act --list --workflows=.github/workflows/build.yml (dns block)
  • Triggering command: act --list --workflows=.github/workflows/push-image.yml (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to my firewall allow list
