Add support for Desktop (JVM) Linux ARM64

[iXPert12]

How frequently does the bug occur?

Always

Description

I'm developing a jetbrains compose desktop application for raspberry pi. When testing on Debian ARM64 , the application always crashes because of wrong librealmc.so

The issue is that the linked librealm is for x64, nor ARM64

Hi @iXPert12

Yes, unfortunately, this is a gap in our documentation. I thought we had this covered at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm/sdk/kotlin/install/#supported-environments but I can see that we do not mention which platforms JVM actually supports.

Currently, we only build for Linux x64 due to limitations in our CI infrastructure. It has been something we wanted to address for a while but we haven't had the time to fully finish it.

Note, it is possible to build the binary for ARM 64 yourself by using the same logic defined here: https://github.com/realm/realm-kotlin/blob/main/Jenkinsfile#L710

I'll also convert this issue to track adding linux arm64 support, so it is more explicit.

Note, this issue is also tracking build natively for these platforms: #617
