Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

From what I understand, luajit support Windows arm64; https://luajit.org/install.html (https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/1096)
But the port appear to exclude it.

luajit is only supported on '!uwp & !(arm64 & windows)', which does not match arm64-windows. This usually means that there are known build failures, or runtime problems, when building other platforms. To ignore this and attempt to build luajit anyway, rerun vcpkg with --allow-unsupported.
Proposed solution

To build luajit on arm64-windows.
