leviathan 24c2821ae2 release.yml: arm64-static via musl-tools on ubuntu-24.04-arm (not Alpine)
The v0.7.1 arm64-static build failed with:
  'JavaScript Actions in Alpine containers are only supported on
   x64 Linux runners. Detected Linux Arm64'

actions/checkout (and most other GitHub Actions) ship as Node.js
bundles. On x86_64, GitHub's runner injects a glibc-compatible Node
into Alpine containers; on arm64, that injection isn't available.
The container fails to even check out the repo.

Fix: run the arm64 static build natively on ubuntu-24.04-arm (a
glibc-based runner that actions/checkout works on out of the box),
and use Ubuntu's musl-tools package to get musl-gcc + musl-dev for
the static link. The produced binary is still statically-linked
against musl — just built outside an Alpine container.

Refactor: the previous build-static matrix becomes two distinct
jobs (build-static-x86_64 still Alpine-on-x64; build-static-arm64
now musl-tools-on-arm64). The release job's needs[] list and the
artifact list are unchanged at the consumer level — the same four
binaries (x86_64 dyn + static, arm64 dyn + static) plus install.sh
still get published.
