Add Aarch64 support (#231)

* added mariadb-connector-cpp submodule

* raknet aarch64 support

* fix compile errors

* mariadb connector swap (in progress)

* update CMakeLists, add preprocessor definition to switch between mysql and mariadb connectors

* update types with missing aarch64 check

* corrected adding extra flag to properly compile mariadbconn in CMakeLists

* updated readme with arm builds section

* fix build failure if test folder does not exist

* Remove mysql connector from all builds, add mariadbconnector to windows build

* readd Linux check for backtrace lib to CMakeLists.txt

* Separate system specific mariadbconncpp extra compile flags

* Fixed typo in glibcxx compile flag

* whitespacing, spaces -> tabs

* Updated README.md, included instructions to update

* Updated README.md

added libssl-dev requirement and removed mysql connector references from macOS builds section

* apple compile fixes for zlib and shared library name

* add windows arm64 checks to raknet

* remove extra . in shared library location

* Setup plugins directory for the connector to search in, pass openssl_root_dir on for apple

* Fix copy paths for single config generators and non windows

* change plugin folder location, another single config generator fix

* GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG is a property not a variable

* Fixed a few errors after merge

* Fix plugin directory path, force windows to look at the right folder

* fixed directory name for make_directory command

* Update README.md

Updated MacOS, Windows build instructions.

* set INSTALL_PLUGINDIR so that the right directory is used

* Support for relative rpath for docker build

* Rebase on main

* Remove extra git submodule

* Update CMakeLists.txt

* Remove CMakeLists.txt file from mariadb

Remove the CMakeLists.txt file from the mariaDBConnector so we dont build the tests.  Also add a config option to the CMakeVariables.txt so you can build the connector with multiple jobs

* Compile on windows

Specify the mariadbcpp.dll file location with a defined absolute path so windows knows it actually exists.

* default to 1 job

Default mariadb jobs running in parallel to 1 instead of 4

* Move mariadbcpp.dll file to the expected directory on windows

* Changed plugin

Updated the plugin location from the project binary directory to the expected location, the mariadb binary directory.

* Addressed windows dll issues by moving files to the expected directory instead of a directory that wouldnt get created

* Update README
