Description
Currently the vmware provider executes vmware_unsupported.go on all non-amd64 platform to fail gracefully on unsupported architecture.
Now that both VMware ESXi and Fusion works on arm64, I wonder if arm64 support can now be added alongside amd64.
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reading internal/providers/vmware/vmware_unsupported.go and the surrounding VMware provider entry points to understand how non-amd64 platforms are currently rejected. Trace the platform-specific selection and identify the existing checks or tests for amd64. Done means the VMware provider supports arm64 on the stated VMware platforms instead of taking the unsupported path, with relevant tests updated or added.
