Adds windows arm to the testing and release runners. This could increase wait time for tests if this becomes the slowest runner, which does seem possible, so have to take that into consideration.

As a side note, github documentation is horrendous to navigate, but the runners are laid out here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/write-workflows/choose-where-workflows-run/choose-the-runner-for-a-job

Closes: #10872

I noticed that there is the section for cross, but none of our builds use it. If there is a need for cross compilation, I have seen a lot of projects use zig instead. I wonder if its worth to remove the section for now, as the main targets we want to target all now have native options, where there is no need for cross-compilation?

I think we used to use cross compilation when there weren't runners available for some architecture, but the cross compilation image was severely out of date so we had to disable it
