> Some development environments are transitioning to be based on arm64, such as Apple Silicon M1 Macs. 
> AWS is also offering arm-based EC2 instances which could be a good target platform for NiFi clusters. 
> Some target runtimes for MiNiFi Java also fall into this category, such as Raspberry Pi.
> There are also some native arm64/aarch64 JVMs available that can run on these platforms without emulation.
> Given this, it seems like a good time to adding support for building and running on arm64/aarch64 in addition to amd64/x86_64.
> An initial bit of experimentation shows that the full Maven build fails using an arm64 JDK, but can succeed with a few changes. This ticket is to introduce changes that allow Apache NiFi and subprojects such as MiNiFi and Registry to build and run using a native arm64 JDKs.
> Additionally, once this is achieved, add a CI build that targets arm64 platforms to prevent future changes that would break arm64 compatibility.
