release.yml: arm64-static via dockcross/linux-arm64-musl

Third attempt at arm64-static. Previous two:

1. Alpine container on ubuntu-24.04-arm:
   'JavaScript Actions in Alpine containers only supported on x64
   Linux runners' — actions/checkout JS bundle can't run.

2. musl-tools on ubuntu-24.04-arm:
   musl-gcc + Ubuntu's /usr/include collide. -isystem /usr/include
   pulls glibc stdio.h whose __gnuc_va_list + __time64_t types
   conflict with musl's stdio.h. -isystem /usr/include/linux alone
   leaves us missing asm/ headers.

dockcross/linux-arm64-musl avoids both:
  - Image base is Debian (glibc) → actions/checkout works.
  - Ships aarch64-linux-musl-gcc with a CONSISTENT musl + linux-
    uapi sysroot. No header collision.

The dockcross pattern is: pull the image, ask it to spit out its
wrapper script ('docker run --rm dockcross/linux-arm64-musl' prints
a bash wrapper to stdout), then './dockcross bash -c ...' runs the
command inside the toolchain container with the cwd volume-mounted.

Produces a statically-linked aarch64 ELF binary, same packaging
flow as the x86_64-static job.
