adding arm64 build, and improved termux installation process
* Added arm64 Linux standalone build. (No autobuilder yet.)
* Improved termux installation process.

Added git-annex-install.sh script to avoid user needing to type as much in
termux. The scope of this script is limited; runshell handles the rest.

Runshell runs termux-fix-shebang on the shell scripts. The problem is
the bundled bin/sh script, deleting that script also works, but then the
others probably use the system Android /bin/sh, which could be old or
broken or not posix or whatever. Using termux sh to run the scripts is
better.

Add an arm64 autobuilder (linux).
This is needed to run in termux on some android devices.
And of course there are arm64 servers, although the armel build probably
also works on them.
Status: Builds fine on arm64, but needs an autobuilder. Building under
emulation could be done, or a scaleway arm64 server, which would be a
$5/month expense. Or, perhaps someone has an arm64 that could host the
autobuilder? --[[Joey]]
Currently running release builds for arm64 on my phone, but it's not
practical to run an autobuilder there. --[[Joey]]
