Enhancement: provide prebuilt binaries for win32-arm64

[wojtekmaj]

Possible install-time or require-time problem

• I have read and understood all of the documentation relating to installation.
• I have searched for known bugs relating to this problem in my choice of package manager.

You must confirm both of these before continuing.

Are you using the latest version of sharp?

• I am using the latest version of sharp as reported by npm view sharp dist-tags.latest.

If you cannot confirm this, please upgrade to the latest version and try again before opening an issue.

If you are using another package which depends on a version of sharp that is not the latest,
please open an issue against that package instead.

Are you using a supported runtime?

• I am using Node.js with a version that satisfies ^18.17.0 || ^20.3.0 || >=21.0.0
• I am using Deno
• I am using Bun

If you cannot confirm any of these,
please upgrade to the latest version
and try again before opening an issue.

Are you using a supported package manager and installing optional dependencies?

• I am using npm >= 9.6.5 with --include=optional
• I am using yarn >= 3.2.0
• I am using pnpm >= 7.1.0 with --no-optional=false
• I am using Deno
• I am using Bun

If you cannot confirm any of these, please upgrade to the latest version of your chosen package manager
and ensure you are allowing the installation of optional or multi-platform dependencies before opening an issue.

What is the complete error message, including the full stack trace?

node_modules\sharp\lib\sharp.js:114
  throw new Error(help.join('\n'));
        ^

Error: Could not load the "sharp" module using the win32-arm64 runtime
Possible solutions:
- Manually install libvips >= 8.15.2
- Add experimental WebAssembly-based dependencies:
    npm install --cpu=wasm32 sharp
    npm install @img/sharp-wasm32
- Consult the installation documentation:

With the release of Snapdragon X powered laptops, supporting Windows ARM 64 architecture has become more relevant than ever. This would allow for better development experience for users on these ARM-based machines.

[lovell]

I've moved this issue to the sharp-libvips repo and tagged as a future possible enhancement as the work for this will start here.

There used to be partial support before lovell/sharp#3750 - demand for Windows ARM was very, very low at the time (around 1 download per day).

This will probably be dependent on https://github.blog/2024-06-03-arm64-on-github-actions-powering-faster-more-efficient-build-systems/

"We expect to begin offering Arm runners for open source projects by the end of the year."
