📄 Description

This PR adds support for additional Linux architectures and distributions, expanding the reach of ssh-sync to more Linux users.

Architecture Support

Added ARM64 (aarch64) architecture support
Added ARMv7 architecture support
Maintained existing x86_64 (amd64) support

Distribution Support

Added Alpine Linux (.apk) package support
Added Arch Linux (pacman .tar.zst) package support
Maintained existing Debian (.deb) and RPM (.rpm) package support

Implementation Details

Modified the GitHub workflow to use a matrix strategy for building multiple architectures
Used Go's cross-compilation capabilities by setting appropriate GOARCH environment variables
Updated package creation to include architecture-specific metadata
Ensured all packages are properly included in the release artifacts
Updated documentation to reflect the new supported platforms and architectures

Testing

Verified the GitHub workflow syntax
The changes are ready to be tested in the next release

Documentation Changes

Updated installation instructions in both README.md and docs/index.html to include:
- Instructions for Alpine and Arch Linux package installation
- Information about architecture options
- Clear guidance for users to select the appropriate package for their system

These changes will allow ssh-sync to run on more devices like Raspberry Pi and other ARM-based systems, as well as provide native packages for additional Linux distributions.

Fixes #36.
