Description

Installing on Ubuntu via apt is still [one of the top recommendations](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/site/docs/install-ubuntu.md#install-on-ubuntu), but the apt repo doesn't contain any releases for arm64.

Research direction

Start with the Ubuntu installation instructions in site/docs/install-ubuntu.md and review issues #11994 and #12222 for the existing arm64 installation and release context. Confirm what the apt repository publishes for arm64; done means an arm64 release is available through the recommended apt installation path.
