Add Wheel for ARM musllinux aarch64 about pymupdf HOT 5 OPEN

[Making PyMuPDF use an installed MuPDF is non-trivial because we require MuPDF's Python bindings, which are probably not installed.]

I have an experimental PyMuPDF musllinux wheel at: http://ghostscript.com/~julian/PyMuPDF-1.24.5-cp312-none-musllinux_1_2_x86_64.whl

I've no idea whether it will work on Alpine Linux, but if you could try it out that would be appreciated. For example:

wget http://ghostscript.com/~julian/PyMuPDF-1.24.5-cp312-none-musllinux_1_2_x86_64.whl
pip install PyMuPDF-1.24.5-cp312-none-musllinux_1_2_x86_64.whl

[I can build for a different Python version if required.]

Apologies, the wheel above is for x86_64, not aarch64.

Unfortunately building for musllinux aarch64 on Github does not work because the Python libclang package appears to be broken - it cannot find libclang.so at runtime.

If you have a working build (even if very slow), could you give details of the system?

I'm currently running the following Docker container and copying the completed wheel out of it for install. Haven't had much time recently to test full compatibility due to work crunch (not detecting its building for musl linux).

Do you know why this uses --break-system-packages in the command pip install --break-system-packages libclang?

This looks like it might be working around the problem that i'm seeing.
