Adds an aarch64 AppImage alongside the existing x86_64 one, so Raspberry Pi / ARM users get a portable binary too (they previously had to build from source).

One change: appimage.yml becomes a 2-entry matrix over {arch, runner} — x86_64 on ubuntu-22.04 (unchanged) and aarch64 on ubuntu-22.04-arm (GitHub's free native ARM runner, not emulated). Every hardcoded x86_64 becomes ${{ matrix.arch }}; linuxdeploy's asset names use those exact tokens and linuxdeploy-aarch64.AppImage exists.

Compatibility: glibc floor stays at 22.04's 2.35, so the aarch64 image runs on Raspberry Pi OS bookworm and trixie.

Opening this PR auto-runs the workflow (both arches) as a check — merge once both are green. No new secrets. The release-attach step is unchanged (tag-gated), so a future v* tag will carry both …-tci-x86_64.AppImage and …-tci-aarch64.AppImage.

The aarch64 AppImage now ships in the release (PR #13), so ARM is no longer
build-from-source-only. Add the ARM64/Raspberry Pi row, correct the stale
'AppImage is x86_64 only' note, and add a one-line FUSE tip.
