What does this change

This PR adds build support to build the binaries for Linux/ARM64 and Mac/ARM64

Did not touch on the azure-pipelines.install.yml because I don't know if there is a pool for ARM VMs running.
Please let me know your thoughts on this and if this is not aligned with the roadmap feel free to close.

Also if someone is running Linux and/or Mac on ARM64 and what to give a try will be cool

What issue does it fix

Closes #1497

If there is not an existing issue, please make sure we have context on why this change is needed. See our Contributing Guide for examples of when an existing issue isn't necessary.

Thanks for the PR!

Re: arm64 Azure Pipelines agent -- it doesn't appear there are official agents available yet, so I believe a self-hosted solution would be needed (looking at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/2020/sprint-171-update#additional-agent-platform-arm64). I know @carolynvs has previously set up a self-hosted Windows agent, so she may have a good idea around level of effort for an arm64 agent.

Let's please hold off on merging until we can further think through how to treat the runtime binary.

Have you tested out using porter-linux-arm64 installed to ~/.porter/runtimes/porter-runtime? Like built a bundle and run it?

I'm not sure that will work without further changes because we build bundles with a linux amd64 invocation image.

No need to apologize! I just ping issues after it's been a while to see how things are going and make sure that people aren't stuck. Take your time and I appreciate you looking into this. 👍

published the exec binary but looks like it tried to get the linux/amd64

ubuntu@ip-172-31-10-226:~/porter/porter$ porter mixin install exec --url https://github.com/cpanato/testing-ci-providers/releases/download/  --version v0.0.51
Error: bad status returned when downloading https://github.com/cpanato/testing-ci-providers/releases/download/v0.0.51/exec-linux-amd64 (404) 404 Not Found

which I did not publish to check if will download the right one

but my question is (I'm a newbie here, so apolagises)
the mixin exec needs to be in the same arch as we are running? if so we might need to change the code around https://github.com/getporter/porter/blob/main/pkg/pkgmgmt/client/install.go#L91

ubuntu@ip-172-31-10-226:~/porter/porter$ porter mixin install exec --url https://github.com/cpanato/testing-ci-providers/releases/download/  --version v0.0.51
installed exec mixin v0.38.3-11-g6f9ae84e (6f9ae84e)

Instead of duplicating scripts for each os+arch, since I think the only difference is the arch name, I'd like for us to look at using go env GOARCH to determine the arch value and then use that as a variable. Then we just have to maintain 3 install scripts.

goos := goos
arch := arch
// skip windows arm64
if arch == "arm64" && goos == "windows" {

In Go 1.17 we should be able to remove this skip here. Can you add a comment about that and link to the issue for Go windows/arm64 support? That way we are more likely to remember. 😀

This is a great PR to reference in #2870 - however due to age I'm going to close it until we can readdress it in that issue.
