CI ARM

[johnnynunez]

This pull request includes several changes to the .github/workflows/external.ci.yml file to enhance the CI pipeline by adding support for ARM builds and cleaning up existing job definitions.

Enhancements to CI pipeline:

• Added new build job build-cpu-rocky-8-arm to support ARM architecture using arm64v8/rockylinux:8 container. This includes steps to install necessary packages, checkout the repository, build the project, and upload the build artifacts.
• Added new build job build-cpu-ubuntu-2204-arm to support ARM architecture using arm64v8/ubuntu:22.04 container. This includes steps to install necessary packages, checkout the repository, build the project, and upload the build artifacts.

Cleanup:

• Removed redundant comments related to file permission issues during artifact upload/download in the test-cpu-rocky-8 and test-cpu-ubuntu-2204 jobs. [1] [2]
• Removed unnecessary blank lines in the test-cpu-rocky-8 and test-cpu-ubuntu-2204 job definitions for better readability. [1] [2]

First of all - thank you for your contribution - it's merged!

Thanks for your request. Generating a new release that includes ARM64 Linux binaries isn't as straightforward as it might seem. It's not just a technical challenge—we also have internal considerations that require extra effort on our side.
We understand the demand for ARM64 builds and appreciate your patience. While we can't commit to an immediate release, we’ll evaluate how best to proceed.
