This changes how 64-bit ARM Linux (the `linux-aarch64` platform) versions are handled to use the official Solidity binaries. Since `v0.8.31`, Solidity officially releases [`linux-arm64`](https://binaries.soliditylang.org/linux-arm64/list.json) binaries. Note a few small details: 1. Solidity calls the platform `linux-arm64`, while SVM calls it `linux-aarch64`. I assumed that changing the naming to match Solidity would be a much larger breaking change, so I decided to have the `releases::all_releases` handle the naming discrepancy. 2. Some small adjustments were required for the `linux_aarch64` install test as it wasn't compiling. 3. The binary list from `nikitastupin/solc` does not correctly add `prerelease` information to the `builds` field; so in order to differentiate between `v0.8.31` (from the official releases) and `v0.8.31-pre.1` (from the `nikitastupin/solc` releases) some additional "fixup" code was added. Right now, the generated `svm-builds` constants for `linux-aarch64` don't correctly include `-pre.1` prerelease information.
