Build the aarch64-linux gem

[fcatuhe]

Build the aarch64-linux gem from litestream arm64-linux binaries.

Closes #55

This is also needed to run litestream-ruby in Hetzner Ampere® shared vCPU (CAX series).

[fractaledmind]

Quick question: have you tested that the build works on that platform?

[fcatuhe]

The litestream arm64 build, yes. Below is the service running on Hetzner CAX11 (aarch64-linux platform).

But I was not able to test the aarch64-linux packaged version of the gem. I'm not aware that I can test that without it being pushed to rubygems, but if you have guidance, I'm happy to do it.

I just run into this on Heitzner. It seems that aarch64 is the same as arm64, just the naming differs, but this is only my understanding of the topic yet.

[juhat]

While this is merged I tested if aarch64 is an arm64 by adding Litestream into the Dockerfile itself and setting the LITESTREAM_INSTALL_DIR in Kamal config.

# Litestream
ADD https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/releases/download/v0.3.13/litestream-v0.3.13-linux-amd64.tar.gz /tmp/litestream.tar.gz
RUN tar -C /usr/local/bin -xzf /tmp/litestream.tar.gz

And yes, everything works just fine.
