Add deb package for arm64

[SmartLayer]

Currently, to build a deb package for arm64, on an arm64 Linux (in my case, Ubuntu 23.10), one has to run

$ gem install fpm
$ USE_SYSTEM_FPM="true" to npm run dist:deb

this is because the default behaviour is to download fpm binary and execute it, and such downloaded fpm is always in x64 format.

Hi,
I'm not sure it's possible using github build resources, I had a quick look here and didn't find arm runners: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners#supported-runners-and-hardware-resources

I sadly don't even have any arm hardware handy to try locally if it would work.

@squalou here you are the arm64 build https://computer.graphic.and.cryptographic.technology/ann/google-chat-linux_5.27.23-6_amd64.deb

I hope there is a way for you to auto build it, because WebCord could, there must be a way. They use electron-forge though.

Btw, why do you call this project google-chat-linux if it is cross platform and has windows .exe build?

That's a long story that sums up as this :

• once upon a time there was a windows client made by google, and also a MacOS one
• as usual, poor linux had not, someone did one, I picked it up when its creator stopped using google chat
• and ... google stopped the windows client so I added a windows build for some colleagues.

And never changed the name ever since.
Now these colleagues have a "linux" something on their PC, even if it's just a name :) + to be honest I'm not sure anyone is still using it / if it really works fine.

Great news !

I'll give it a try, I never checked if ARM was supported by github actions, time to learn !
