New ExeBuild_arm64/MsiBuild_arm64 builds (ARM64 package type) from a
VC-WIN64-ARM tree, per-architecture features for the arch-suffixed
libcrypto/libssl DLLs, and a bundled VC_redist.arm64.exe prerequisite.
Tests learn the installer architecture from the artifact name.

ExeBuild_x86/MsiBuild_x86 and their hybridCRT twins from VC-WIN32 trees:
x86 package type, 32-bit Program Files, unsuffixed libcrypto/libssl DLL
names, bundled VC_redist.x86.exe. Tests get per-arch install root,
registry paths and DLL suffix.

Per-architecture FIPS and installer builds, arm64 test entries, and
vswhere-based Visual Studio lookup instead of a hard-coded path.

MD4 does not build on Windows arm64.

…build names

On windows-11-arm uv picked an x86_64 CPython, so the tests drove Windows
Installer from an emulated process; use the image's native arm64 Python.
msiexec now writes a verbose log whose tail is printed on failure.

Arm64 packages must declare schema 500 (Summary Page Count); with 450
msiexec rejects the package with 1620 before running any action.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The ARM64 runtime does not write the DevDiv servicing key, so the test
and the arm64 prerequisite search use VisualStudio\14.0\VC\Runtimes\<arch>.
EXE installs pass /exelog and /l*v and print both log tails on failure.

Windows on ARM64 starts at Windows 10, so the predefined "cannot be
installed on Windows 9x/NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista" conditions and their
display-name properties can never fire there. They were copied over with
the rest of the x64 build settings; remove them from ExeBuild_arm64,
leaving the arm64 packages with the same set MsiBuild_arm64 already had.

The 32-bit guard (NoNT) and the bootstrapper guard stay, as on x64.
