This PR implements a generic way of detecting multiple archs for the latest release, and add Swift on Windows (arm64) to swift_releases.yml.
Motivation:
_includes/install/_build_release.md was relying on a dedicated include.aarch64 argument for generating an additional link. This is error-prone (eg. we may forget to specify the argument even if an aarch64 toolchain exists), not extensible (eg. if we want to add riscv64 support we'll then need a new dedicated link) and not future proof (eg. if a new platform doesn't support x86_64 we'll need a bunch of extra logic).
Modifications:
_includes/install/_build_release.md was partially refactored that:
drops the aarch64 input argument;
detects available archs directly from swift_releases.yml;
removes all special treatment for x86_64 and use unified code for generating all download links.
install/windows/index.md was slightly updated to add similar handling for multi-arch.
_data/builds/swift_releases.yml was updated to add arm64 to Swift 6.0 on Windows.
Result:
Most changes happened internally. The only visible change is that Swift 6.0 toolchain will be available for Windows (arm64).
