Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
According to the [documentation](https://bloomberg.github.io/comdb2/install.html), ARM architecture is not supported. Will be great if it would be supported, since it allows to run local instances on ARM-based machines (new Apple laptops and not only Apple) and servers (AWS Graviton and other ARM-based servers).

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add ARM architecture support to the database.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
No clear alternatives.

**Additional context**
No additional context

Research direction

Start with the ARM support statement in the install documentation and compare it with the current database build and runtime assumptions. Identify the architecture-specific work needed for ARM-based machines and servers; done means ARM support is implemented and local instances run successfully on the stated ARM environments.
