Build Docker Containers with ARM CPU support #93

Longer story. AWS has new EC2 machines that are faster and less expensive. M6g series. But they are based on a new ARM processor https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/m6/ and to make full use of that we may want to maintain/publish/build our own containers for the platform.

This is not urgent and kinda a future wish but we are not getting any younger and the world of CPUs and hardware keeps advancing and if this means lower cost for people using Archipelago its kinda in our scope

There is a nice article on how to do this https://tech.smartling.com/building-multi-architecture-docker-images-on-arm-64-c3e6f8d78e1c

Tagging this as 2.0.0 (WOW we have that tag already!)

I love this, Graviton looks like a game changer!
