Hello, the package has ARM architecture listed, but not ARM64.

GitLab offers package for ARM64 as well. Would it be possible to add it?

I know Arch project is not officially supporting ARM, but your package is actually built and running on ARM, you can search for it here https://archlinuxarm.org/packages

I am successfully building this package on Raspberry Pi 3/4 with following script, which basically changes most occurences of `arm` to `arm64`

```
git clone --branch packages/gitlab-runner --depth 1 https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community.git gitlab-runner
cd gitlab-runner/repos/community-x86_64
sed -i "s/('x86_64')/('x86_64' 'aarch64')/" PKGBUILD
sed -i s/-arm/-arm64/g PKGBUILD
makepkg --skipinteg
```

Script produces `gitlab-runner-*-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz` package and it works.

If ARM64 would be added, users of Raspberry Pi 3/4 would avoid building it every update :) And it makes a difference for them, because for example Raspberry Pi 3 doesn't have enough memory to do it. (swap is needed, which is not a good idea for this device)

When the package is installed, it works fine on these devices and it is very useful.
This task depends upon

If you want to build something on ARM you just use makepkg -A so it ignores arch=() and we don't have to change anything at all.
