Build Linux AArch64 wheels natively without QEMU (#13682)

* Build Linux AArch64 wheels natively without QEMU GitHub Actions now provides Linux runner images on native arm64 hardware[^1], which means we should be able to build the wheels natively, without requiring QEMU. This potentially paves the way (pending a more complete move of CI to GHA) for Linux on AArch64 to potentially gain Tier 1 platforma support. [^1]: https://github.blog/changelog/2025-01-16-linux-arm64-hosted-runners-now-available-for-free-in-public-repositories-public-preview/ * Remove restriction on tests We previously restricted the tests to a small subset of the suite because of runtime concerns with QEMU. Since we are now running natively, this removes the restriction, bringing Linux AArch64 in line with what we expect from a Tier 2 platform. * Remove explicit architecture selection (cherry picked from commit 3150351) # Conflicts: # .github/workflows/wheels-build.yml
