* Add arm64 release wheel jobs This commit adds a new CI job to publish precompiled binary wheels for linux on aarch64 (arm64). Since the latest numpy and scipy releases now publish wheels for aarch64 we can run CI jobs to do the same since we won't be spending all our CI time budget compiling upstream dependencies from source anymore (terra 0.17.0 will be publishing wheels aarch64 wheels too). This enables users running on linux aarch64 systems to install qiskit without having to compile everything from source anymore. To build these wheels this commit uses travis, which is the only CI system that offers non-x86 nodes. (cherry picked from commit 1063501)

During code review it was suggested to change the try except logic around importing Backend from terra that was added in the backport for PR Qiskit#1106 for backwards compatibility with the minimum supported terra version to a simpler version using tuples. This commit makes that change to avoid a needlessly long if statement around isinstance checking backend objects. Co-authored-by: Christopher J. Wood <cjwood@us.ibm.com>
When moving an AER::Vector set the size of the moved vector to 0.
