- create linux executables linked statically to musl - drop gnu (glibc) target, executable will work on alpine & glibc based distros (debian etc) - create windows aarch64 target - refactor release script & workflow to match pact-reference - builds on pull request to master/main branch, in debug mode Related epics - musl all the things - pact-foundation/roadmap#30
- more supported platforms - install to ~/.pact/bin
macos-latest has switched to arm64
update arduino/setup-protoc@v3 to support arm64

Slim executables

Motivation
Some of our client languages necessitate the inclusion of all supported platform/architecture combinations in a single package distributed to end-users.
Reducing the size of the executables and libraries if preferable, if there is no discernible difference for end user.
The proposed set of changes, opts not to set
panic=abortover the default ofpanic=unwind.The inclusion of the
panic=abortwill change behaviour which may lead to changes in how we program (if we are expecting to be able to unwind - maybe more relevant for the ffi?), but leads to smaller binary sizes. To go further than that, we need to build against nightly rust channels, which is probably less than preferable.I believe these set of options provides the best trade-offs whilst remaining on a stable rust channel.
The strip option as a minimum should be included, it is actually now enabled by default in rust 1.77
