Windows ARM64 Builds

resolves #11909

• Test that the script works in your system with appropriate download link
• The produced zip can be extracted using Windows "Extract All..." option
• Clicking Unciv.bat runs Unciv properly

Possible way to test this:

• Test that the script works in your system with appropriate download link

Since windows works the same way. The only difference for ARM builds would be the JRE that we shipped. Thus if it works with appropriate JRE link in our system, we can be sure that it would work with appropriate JRE in Windows ARM64.

Running the script with WSL produced this output:

After opening Unciv.zip with 7z, can confirm that the contents are correct:

The produced zip could be extracted from Windows built in "Extract All..." option. And double clicking the .bat file DOES run Unciv properly.

Now, the remaining test would be to see if this correctly adds Unciv-WindowsARM64.zip in releases which I am not sure how can I check that. So, this PR can be considered ok to go.

Is there a reason not to use packr? This looks exactly like what packr does, we could just change the JDK in between x86 and ARM builds

If we see that doesn't work we can try this but it seems unnecessary if the current path will suffice
Also the final download will be smaller, since packr throws away unnecessary parts of the JRE

Hmm... They officially does not support ARM yet... But ARM devices can emulate x64 code so this might work... But again not sure how to test this, also not sure how to configure packr...

theoretically just replace the existing "windows 64 bit" JDK in the CI flow with your JDK and it'll use that one
The real question is: How is the .exe file constructed? If it's x86 specific then this will not work, if it's generic (like your batch file) then it will
Do you actually have a Windows ARM where you can test this?
