Release arm64 linux-musl prebuilts

[somay]

A linux musl for arm64 prebuilt is needed when using docker environment such as Alpine Linux. I use Apple arm64 architecture. This package has linux x64 musl and linux arm64 but linux musl arm64 is missing.

$ cat Dockerfile
FROM node:22-alpine

WORKDIR /home
RUN npm add re2
$ docker build .

Anyway thank you for releasing this package for Apple arm64 architecture! It helps our development team. It would be greater if we could have it also for Alpine Linux on Apple M1.

[uhop]

You can fix the problem by installing Python and other dependencies required by node-gyp.

I'll look into building binaries you asked for. Unless somebody submits a patch before me. :-)

[devkokov]

+1 for adding this in please

[uhop]

Added the feature in ba014d0d58b2840be0a52433a5f1754c2aba2c19 + b928038181a5e020d3387feff56d286836b00aec

[uhop]

The trial run has worked. It'll be released with the next version (1.21.4).
