Add support to release Linux aarch64 wheels

[odidev]

Problem

On aarch64, ‘pip install ppscore’ builds the wheels from source code and then installs it. It requires the user to have a development environment installed on his system. Also, it takes some time to build the wheels than downloading and extracting the wheels from PyPI.

Resolution

On aarch64, ‘pip install ppscore’ should download the wheels from PyPI.

@8080labs and Team, Please let me know your interest in releasing aarch64 wheels. I can help in this.

How do you propose to help with this?

We can create the wheel using the python -m pip wheel -w ./wheelhouse/ . command. We can enable the process of building and publishing the wheel on PyPI through Github actions. If you are interested I am happy to raise the PR.

Right now I am unsure how big the (ongoing) effort will be and how big the benefit will be.
If you want, I would appreciate the PR and to have an outline what steps need to be taken.
This will help me understand the cost. Based on this, we might just (always) do it from now on or wait until there is more demand.
What do you think?
