CI for win/arm64

Hello,

We recently upstreamed a patch <https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11383>
to enable Apache arrow C++ and Python library support for the windows/arm64
platform.

I would like to explore if it would be possible to add CI and release build
support for win/arm64 platforms.

There are no WoA64 machines available with any of the cloud providers yet
but we have a couple of machines in linaro woa farm that will be able to
use for CI, release builds, etc.

We have added similar upstreaming testing for a few tools like CPython and
llvm. This can be a temporary step until cloud solutions are available for
win/arm64.

I would like to hear if anyone has any thoughts on this subject and
suggestions on how to do it would be helpful.

Thanks,
Niyas

Arrow uses Github Actions as CI, so it should be possible to set it up (e.g. https://github.com/jay0lee/CPython-Windows-ARM64/blob/master/.github/workflows/blank.yml)
But the problem is that GHA self-hosted runners should not be used for public repositories because of security concerns (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/GitHub+-+self-hosted+runners)
Apache Airflow project uses custom runner to workaround this issue. Maybe this is an option ?!
