Description

### Please confirm these before moving forward.

- [X] I have searched for my feature proposal and have not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved/discarded issue.
- [X] This proposal is a completely new feature. If you want to suggest an improvement or an enhancement, please use [this template](https://github.com/marticliment/WingetUI/issues/new?assignees=marticliment&labels=enhancement&projects=&template=enhancement-improvement.yml&title=%5BENHANCEMENT%5D+%28Enter+your+description+here%29).

### Describe the new feature

I would love to have a native ARM64 build, instead of running on the x64 emulator.
This would improve performance, and more importantly save battery.

### Describe how this new feature could help users

It would improve the end user experience:
- Better performance du to not have to be run via the emulation layer
- Improved energy consumption
- Improved responsiveness
- Align with trends; I would assume that many WinGetUI/UniGetUI users are technical and more likely to be running a ARM64 based device than any other audience
- Hopefully a much lower memory consumption

EDIT: Just noticed the high memory consumption. On a x64 based device, the memory consumption is about half.
