Summary
This pull request removes tooling and configuration for building and distributing
dugite-native
for arm64 architectures. All previously released builds for arm64 architectures will remain.Motivation
The CI process for arm64 builds is much slower than the other platforms (more than an extra ten minutes in most cases). This is especially problematic for security vulnerability releases that are time-sensitive (since this project is a dependency of Desktop). Desktop does not use the arm64 distribution of dugite-native and we aren't aware of any significant projects that do.
Notes
If at some point in the future we need to support arm64 architecture again, this PR can be reverted to bring this work back.
